Include 10 mm of bleed on all sides, and that any full-bleed images cover the entire area surrounded by the bleed line
Leave a minimum of 10 mm safe zone between text and the trim lines.
The final product may differ by up to 5mm from the original file submitted, please bear this tolerance in mind when creating your artwork.
