Hi people,
I just signed up to this and this is my 1st post so trying it out but I really do have a problem lol
I have just recently started my online business selling business cards, drink coasters, Letterheads, mousepads etc for businesses. However, in order for me to print of my business cards or anything else I need to making those 'bleed' lines and I don't quite get those.
My printing company that I joined needs these bleeds and cut lines to be on the designs I make. Now if it's something simple then sorry but I am 17 years old so all i've been doing is making pictures and stuff and not really gotten into the inside stuff like this so I need to know how to make a design using the bleeds and cut line..
They are saying that the bleed need to be 3mm and the cut line needs to be 5mm from the bleed. So where do i make my design. I'm guessing that the cut-line is used to cut the paper to that size but why do I have to use bleeds? and what am I not allowed to put beyond the cut line and bleed area?
If you don't understand this then let me know and i'll try to put it in simpler terms but thanks in advance
