Core Preparation Steps for Print & Direct Mail Success

Before sending your collateral to press, reviewing key production parameters saves time, eliminates revisions, and maximizes your campaign ROI. Our commercial print resources emphasize four critical campaign preparation steps:

01

Bleed & Trim Specifications

Always extend background artwork at least 0.125 inches (1/8″) beyond the final trim line to prevent unexpected white edges during precision paper cutting.

02

Document Color Mode Settings

Convert all artwork and linked images to CMYK color mode. RGB files created for digital screen displays can shift in color tone when processed on commercial presses.

03

Target List Data Hygiene

Cleanse and standardize your address lists using CASS and NCOA processing to ensure high deliverability and qualify for bulk postage discounts.

04

Font & Vector File Preparation

Embed all fonts or convert text to outlines in your design software to prevent missing font errors during prepress processing.
