Artwork Guidelines

It is required to have 1/16” overbleed and colour wrap onto the back of the envelope to allow for movement throughout the bindery process. It is normal for the artwork on the finished envelopes to vary slightly from one piece to another because of movement during the run and could vary up to 1/8”. As a result of the intensive bindery processes, die-cutting, scoring, folding and gluing (ie. converting), the colour wrap and overbleed may not be even on all sides.
