Why we don't recommend borders in your design.

To speed the printing process we use a machine to cut many sheets at the same time. During the process the sheets may shift so it's very common that any border designed too close to the cutting line will look uneven in the printed product.

Because of this, we highly recommend that you don't design with borders and if you do, make sure they are at least 1/4" inside the trim zone or 3/8" inside the bleed zone.

Our cutting tolerance is 1/32 of an inch at either side for a total visual effect of 1/16.
