Borders Bad File Borders: Minimum border size should be 1/4″ thick plus 1/8″ bleed for a total size of 3/8″ thick.

The green dotted line represents how thick the border should be from the cut line. A border that is not 1/4″ thick will result in uneven borders on all four sides when printed.


Borders Good File
  • 1/8″ Added for Bleed
  • 1/4″ Minimum Border Size

Borders should be at least 1/4″ thick PLUS 1/8″ bleed for a total size of 3/8″ thick.

The cutting process for printed materials has a mechanical tolerance of about 0.0625 or 1/16 of an inch. When using a border in your artwork, it is essential that your design use at least 0.25 or 1/4 of an inch of white space from your border to the cut line to maintain a symmetric appearance.
