Artwork Dimensions
Specify finished size, bleed, safe zone, and file placement so the printer can lay out and trim accurately without guessing margins.
A clear template reduces artwork rework, prevents production errors, and shortens lead times by ensuring printers receive correct dimensions, color profiles, and material specifications up front. It also documents approvals and signoffs so responsibility for final proof acceptance is explicit.
Organizations use the template to coordinate artwork, legal review, and vendor production when ordering door magnets for advertising or informational use.
The template centralizes decision points so each role — design, compliance, procurement, and shipping — knows its responsibilities and deadlines.
Specify finished size, bleed, safe zone, and file placement so the printer can lay out and trim accurately without guessing margins.
Provide exact bleed (typically 1/8 inch) and inner safe zone dimensions to prevent critical text or logos from being cropped during trimming.
State magnetic backing type and thickness (for example, 0.030 in or 0.045 in) and whether weather-resistant lamination is required for outdoor use.
Indicate color space (CMYK), Pantone matches if required, and whether a hard-proof or PDF proof must be approved before production.
List exact unit counts, packaging per box, and any SKU or order codes used for inventory and reorder tracking.
Include shipping address, preferred carrier, delivery window, and rush options to align production and logistics expectations.
