Design Templates - Texoma Media

This is our design template page. Here you will find templates that you can download in order to create your own designs and then send them to us for final proofing before they are sent to production. We offer the templates in Adobe Photoshop file format, so if you need something else please let us know and we will send it to you. Please keep in mind that if you are designing the graphics yourself, there are a few rules you have to follow in order to avoid printing mistakes.

Printing and Cutting Guidelines:

Full Bleed

If you wish to have colored backgrounds or images continue to the edge of the product, they must continue past the safe zone to the full bleed margin. If they do not continue to the full bleed margin, you will most likely end up with white strips along the edge of the product due to the cutting tolerance.

Safe Zone

Illustrates the cutting margin. We can potentially cut the product up to this point. Anything extending outside of this area risks being trimmed.

The following sample business cards demonstrate some of the common mistakes while designing and the resulting printed product.

Background image does not extend to bleed zone
In the following sample image, the background image only extends to the trim zone instead of the bleed zone. Due to cutting tolerances, one possible result is a business card with an unaligned while border it. If the original design had included a background which covered the all zones, the resulting card would not have this undesired background.

The background image does NOT extend to the edges of the card.

The background image extends all the way to the cut edges.

Text is not within safe zone
In the following sample image, the text of the business card extends beyond the safe zone. Objects that are not in the safe zone may be cut off and lead to undesired results.

The text is NOT inside the SafeZone area of the card.

The text is inside the SafeZone area and will print correctly.
