Full Bleed Guidelines

Full bleed books have images printed to all sides of the page, leaving the pages without white space or borders. With Collages.net’s full bleed books, photographers have complete creative control to customize and design the page layouts.

When you create a full bleed book, please use the templates at the bottom of this page, which are suited for one image per page. Also, please be mindful not to place any important design elements outside of the trim lines.

Guidelines for Creating Full Bleed Pages:

	We do not accept panoramic pages. If you have designed a panorama, please open your design in Photoshop® and split it into two pages.
	All books start on the right page and end on the left page. Please do not forget to add these beginning and ending pages. If you would like your book to start on the left page instead, simply upload a white image for the first page. (Marketing Tip – Use the first or last page to market your studio by adding your logo or contact information.).
	Numbering your pages is critical. Please ensure that your pages are numbered in sequential, alphanumerical order using four digits, i.e. 0001, 0002...0099, 0100.
	Be mindful not to include any important design elements in the trim lines and gutter lines.
	The dpi of your pages should be set between 100-300.
