Advanced Order

With Standard Trimming, there is approximately a 1/2 inch white border left around all edges of your image. No special trimming occurs. If you order a 24 x 36 poster, your print will be 24 x 36, and the poster you receive will be approximately 25 x 37 (adding the 1/2″ around all edges). Standard Trim is perfect for economical prints or if you will complete the finishing when you receive it. Many people like a white border around the edge of their print.

Trim to Bleed

With Trim to Bleed, the paper is trimmed exactly around your image on all edges, leaving no white border. Trim to Bleed is best used when you need your printed poster to be the exact dimensions of your print with no border, to fit in frames or light boxes. If you order a 24 x 36 poster, your total print will be 24 x 36.

2″ and 4″ Borders

2″ or 4″ white borders are left around the outside of your image. This choice is great for canvas that needs to be wrapped or framed, banners that need to be hung, or other applications where you want extra white space around the outside of your print. If you ordered a 24 x 36 poster with a 2″ border, your finished print would be 24 x 36 on media that is 28″ x 40″.
