Do you check our designs before printing?r
Each creation is carefully checked by our graphic team.
When you personalize your invitation, our graphic team systematically checks your design before printing, and also performs a check during the printing process to guarantee an optimal result.
If you wish, you can receive a digital proof (BAT) before production begins. Simply request it.
We recommend ordering the printing of a sample copy delivered on an A4 sheet if you have any doubts about your layout.
For any specific layout request, correction, or in-depth verification, you can use the text box labeled “Leave a message or instructions for our graphic designer” on the personalization page. Our team will take all your instructions into account before final validation.
Create your Print File
- Final size: Exact size of the document once cut
- Bleed: Area that extends beyond the final size (4 mm on each side) to avoid white edges; this part will be trimmed after printing. It is represented on our configurator by the red area.
- Safety zone: Inner margin (approximately 5 mm) where no text or important element should be placed
- Front / Back: Front = first side / Back = second side of the printed document
2. Good Design Practices
Do:
- Extend colored backgrounds, photos, or graphic elements to the bleed area
- Use high-resolution images (300 dpi)
Avoid:
- Placing text too close to the edges
- Forgetting to extend a colored background to the edge of the bleed area
- Exporting in low quality
Recommended format: High-quality PDF
- Activate the following options:
- Bleed
- Crop marks
Recommended color profile: CMYK
