Question

Do I need to design my file differently for edge painted products?

Answer

No. Your artwork setup is identical to any standard print order. The edge color is a separate finishing choice applied after printing and cutting, so it does not change how you build your file.

  • Use proper full bleed so the design runs cleanly to the trim.
  • Work in CMYK color mode at high resolution (300 DPI).
  • Do not include the edge color anywhere in your design file.
  • The edge color is chosen separately and applied after the card is printed and cut.
