What is bleed, and how can Penji work with approved margins?

Bleed is extra space around your design that ensures it prints clean—no weird white edges or cut-off images. Most printers need at least ⅛ inch of bleed on all sides. ✂️

If you skip it, your design might come out misaligned or trimmed in the wrong spots. 😬

👀 Heads up!

Penji designers won’t add bleed by default — we assume it’s for digital use unless you say otherwise.

✅ What to do:

When requesting a print design, just:

  • Mention that you need a bleed

  • Share the exact dimensions or a link from your printer

We’ll take care of the rest. 🎨📄
