Remove before export
Delete crop marks, fold marks and colour control bars before exporting. Your file is centred automatically on the sheet; these marks can actually interfere with processing.
What really matters
Rather than marks, it is a properly set bleed and safety zone that guarantee a clean cut. Focus on those two things.
Check before you send
- No crop marks in the PDF

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to add registration marks?
No — centring and cutting are handled automatically from your file’s dimensions.
Not sure about your file?
Our AI assistant checks your file and flags anything that needs adjusting — and can even create your print-ready artwork, bleed included. Nothing goes to press without your approval.
