1. Set up your file
In your design software, create a file that is equal to the size of your printed piece. For example, if you are printing a 5.25” x 5.25” CD Sleeve, you will need to create your file size as 5.25” x 5.25”. Also, be sure all images placed in your design program are at least 300 PPI at print size. This ensures your artwork will not be pixelated.

2. Set your bleed and margins
We require .125" bleed for all CD Sleeves, so be sure to add this bleed when creating your file. Also, we recommend adding .125" margins to ensure important elements are not too close to the edge.

3. Stay within the lines
Extend your artwork to the bleed line, but keep in mind it will be trimmed to the file size you set up (remember, that's the same size as your printed piece). Keep all important elements (particularly text, portraits, and logos) within the safe area.

4. Save your file
Once your masterpiece is finished, save it. Make sure that your fonts are embedded. For the best results, we recommend saving your file as a print-quality PDF.
