Do you check our designs before printing?r
Every design 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 verification during the printing process to ensure optimal results.
If you wish, you can receive a digital proof (BAT) before production begins. Simply make the request.
We recommend ordering a print of a single copy Sample delivered on A4 sheet if you have any doubt about your layout.
For any specific request for layout, correction, or in-depth verification, you can use the text area titled "Leave a message or instructions for our graphic designer" on the personalization page. Our team will take into account each of your instructions before final validation.
Create your Print File
- Final size: Exact document size 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 (approx. 5 mm) where no text or important elements 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
- 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
- Exporting in low quality
Recommended format: High-quality PDF
- Activate the following options:

- Crop marks
