Bleed and safe areas

Bleed is extra background past the cut line so no white edge shows; the safe area keeps text and logos away from the edge. See each product’s values.

  • Cut line (trim): where the product is cut — its finished size.
  • Bleed: extra background beyond the cut line, so a small shift in cutting never shows a white edge. Only products that are printed edge to edge need it.
  • Safe area: keep text, logos and the QR code inside it, so nothing important is cut off.

Templates and AI designs follow these rules for you. For uploads, the check shows your artwork with the cut line and safe area — choose Show cut line and safe area.

When a product’s size is still being confirmed with our supplier, Card2Tap uses its current print size and a person checks every file before printing. We’ll contact you if anything changes.
