Technical Requirements

Terminology:

Safe Zone: The maximum area it is safe to display vital details and information like text or logos. Anything beyond this area leads into the bleed zone which is detailed below.

Bleed Zone: This area is where the image extends from the edge of the mat and beyond. No vital information should be including in this area as it may be distorted or missing entirely in the final print. Most artists will simply extend their background which results in a seamless look for our printing process.

Note: On Mats larger the our playmats and deskmats we suggest increasing the bleed zone from .5" to 1".
