1. Size: product size + bleed
Open the design at the size chosen on the product page and add bleed on every side. For an 8 × 5 cm business card the working area is 8.6 × 5.6 cm. Standard-production cards use 2 mm bleed; the size is listed in the product details.
2. Bleed
Colours and images that run to the edge must extend 3 mm beyond the trim line. Without bleed, the tiny shift in cutting shows as a white line at the edge.
3. Safe area
Keep names, phone numbers and logos at least 3–5 mm inside the trim. Avoid thin frames along the edge; cutting shifts make them look uneven.
4. Colour: CMYK
Screens work in RGB, print in CMYK. Neon greens or electric blues in an RGB file print duller. If your brand colour matters, give its CMYK values; if unsure, ask for a trial print on eligible products.
5. Resolution
300 DPI for small items such as business cards, labels and flyers; 100–150 DPI is enough for posters, roll-ups and banners. Logos and text should ideally be vector (AI, EPS, PDF).
| Product | Incl. bleed | Pixels at 300 DPI |

| Flyer A5 14.8 × 21 cm | 15.4 × 21.6 cm | ≈ 1819 × 2551 px |
6. File format and text
PDF is recommended; AI, EPS, TIFF, PNG and JPG are accepted (up to 200 MB). Embed fonts in the PDF or convert them to outlines. Check phone numbers, e-mails and Turkish characters one last time; they cannot change after printing.

Frequently asked questions
What if I forget the bleed?
Our designer checks your file before printing; without bleed we contact you or fix it where possible. The check is free.
Can I upload PNG or JPG?
Yes, if size and resolution are sufficient. Text prints sharpest from PDF.
