Bleeds and Safety Margins for Plastic Card Artwork

Bleeds and Safety Margins for Plastic Card Artwork

Plastic Cards require larger margins than other printed materials because the have more steps involved in production. A plastic card requires printing, lamination and die cutting and each step has an expected error or tolerance. To allow for this, artwork needs to have a proper safety margin to ensure that all elements appear centered.

We provide templates of each product that shows a safety margin line inside the cut line showing you the limits for placing logos and text. Background images can extend beyond this safety line all the way to the "Bleed" line shown in pink.
