Print Bleed Guide
Remove the template layer before uploading your artwork.
Bleed Area
Make sure to extend the background images or colors all the way to the edge of the black outline.
Trim
This is the actual cut of the final design.
Safe Area
Do not place important text or images beyond the green border area to prevent trimming.
Spot Foil Layer Creation
Create a separate layer labeled "Spot Foil" and use 100% black (C0, M0, Y0, K100) to mark foil application areas.
Surface Consideration
Ensure foil areas are flat and avoid applying foil over textured designs for optimal adhesion and visibility.
File Saving
Save the design as a PDF that includes both the base design and Spot Foil layer, with a 1/8 inch (3mm) bleed and trim marks.
- Spot foil Scodix file(s) should be on a separate page in the same PDF, with the same position and crop marks as the artwork.
- Extend your design 0.125”(3mm) beyond the trim line for bleed, and do not knock out the print beneath the Scodix layer.
- Create a separate layer for spot foil elements in your design, using 100% black (K=100%) to indicate where the foil will be applied.
- Save your design files in a high-resolution PDF format with all fonts outlined and images embedded.
- Scodix embellishments should not extend to the trim line, a score line, or a fold line. Allow at least 4 points between the Scodix and these elements.
