Use "bleed" when printing color to the edge of your labels
Using borders allows for the separation of content and provides a frame to highlight information of your product. However, borders can be tricky to line up correctly especially when using them close to the edge of the label. Using a technique known as "bleed" on designs can counter these effects.
What is "bleed?" Bleed is a printing term that refers to designing beyond the label or planned area to account for any shifts in printing. If you use borders on the outer edge of your designs, we recommend a 1/16" - 1/8" bleed to ensure a consistent feel to your labels, as shown below:
Adding bleed lines in Maestro Label Designer is a simple process. Just follow these easy steps:
Begin by clicking on the "Page Setup" button in the top toolbar of Maestro Label Designer:
Edit the Bleed tolerance to suit your needs. 0.0625 Inches is sufficient for most common jobs. Hit "OK."
Now that you've set up the document to accept bleed lines, you need to create the actual bleed for the design. This can easily be accomplished by Adding a New Shape that flows over the label's die lines, as shown below:
After creating the background bleed, make sure the bleed layer is highlighted. Locate the "Arrange" button in the Design Bar and select "Send to Back."
Congratulations – You now have a proper label bleed in Maestro Label Designer!
