Setting up your Poster Artwork
Having the correct artwork setup is key. A print is only as good as the artwork, so key elements need to be cross referenced such as:
- Print ready PDF file is preferable or a high resolution (300dpi) JPEG file.
- To avoid font issues ensure fonts are outlined. Images or Linked files should be embedded to avoid missing content when printing.
- If trimming required, the artwork should have a minimum 3mm Bleed all around + crop (trim) marks.
- Safe Margin should be 3mm - 5mm from the trim edge for all elements such as Images, Vector Graphics and Text.
- If you need help with setting up your artwork please let us know, our rates start from $15 / 15 minutes
Border vs. Borderless Poster Printing: What’s the Difference?
When ordering a custom poster print, you’ll often come across two main options: bordered and borderless printing. Understanding the difference can help you choose the right style for your design and ensure your final print meets your expectations.
What is Border Poster Printing?
A bordered poster includes a 3mm to 5mm white margin around the edges of the print. This means:
- No ink is printed on the outermost edges, leaving a clean white border.
- The design remains fully intact if scaled to fit, if not there is the risk of losing important details that might be present on the edges - example shown in the images on the left.
What is Borderless Poster Printing?
A borderless poster is printed all the way to the edges of the paper (also known as full-bleed printing). This means:
- There are no white margins, and the artwork covers the entire print area.
Important Considerations:
- If your image doesn’t account for a 3-5mm bleed area, some parts of the design near the edges may get trimmed off during printing.
- Ensure all important text, logos, and details are kept within the safe zone to avoid accidental cropping.
Which Option Should You Choose?
- Choose Bordered Printing if you do not have important details on all the edges of the poster.
- Choose Borderless Printing for full-coverage design where you would prefer the background to bleed over the edges.
