The margins are critical to getting your cards to print properly.

First, your background image must go to the edge of the canvas.
All text must fit within the inner guides. No text in the margins.


Sample design:
The background photo goes all the way to the edge of the card
but the text all fits within the inner guides.


After Printing, the bleed margin gets cut away, but any images or color that
goes to the edge of the printed card must go to the edge of the design canvas
(beyond where we cut them) or you will have tiny white lines on the edges
of some of your cards. Cutting is not a perfect, exact process.


These margins are critical, we cannot make them smaller
without compromising your design.
