File Setup

Follow the below instructions when setting up your artwork in your chosen design program.

Page Count = 1

Document Size = quoted trim size. 

Bleed = 0.125” on all four sides. Be sure to extend the background artwork to the full bleed.

Margin = 0.125” on all four sides. Keep all crucial text and artwork within this margin to avoid the potential for anything being trimmed off during production.

Submitting Your Artwork

You should only upload a 1-page PDF for the notepad artwork regardless of the number of pages in the pad, as only one design can be printed per pad.
