Print Borders
White Border
With our standard prints you will have the option to add a border at the upload stage. This is an approximate 5mm white border around the edge of your print and is the recommended method to get an even border. Your final print size will remain the same size as ordered as your image size will be reduced slightly to allow for the border. Please ensure you leave at least 5mm of bleed on your files still.
No Border
When uploading your images, you can select "No Border" to have your image printed at full size. This will still require the edges of the print to be trimmed slightly so please include bleed in your image to ensure no hands, feet, heads or critical elements are too close to the edge of your picture.
How To Supply Your Files For Print
Bleed
Every image is printed onto a long roll of film before being automatically cut to size within the printer during development. The bleed area is the 3-5mm around every edge that will be subject to trimming or movement during this process. We advise for the bleed area of your image to be excess background and do not advise key features such as heads or feet to be placed too close to the top, bottom or outside edges. This will also include any borders, keylines or text that you may add to your designs. For this reason, we do not advise adding your own border of less than 10mm to your images before uploading. Please be aware that this is an automatic process so cannot be avoided but submitting your file correctly with any important elements within the safe margin will ensure that no unwanted cropping will occur.
Bespoke Sizes for Standard Photo Prints
We are unable to offer bespoke trimming on any of our standard photo prints however you can set up your file so that you can trim this once the prints arrive with you. Please make sure that you select 'no border' if you are looking for a bespoke size. For more guidance on designing a bespoke print, see our preparing your files page for a video guide. Please note that if you design your file as a bespoke size you may find that the size of your image varies slightly due to the bleed area.
