2. Setting Up Your PosterMyWall Document Correctly

• CREATE A CUSTOM SIZE: On the PosterMyWall editor, click Resize on the right menu, select custom dimensions, and enter your target size in millimeters (mm) including your 3mm bleed on all sides. (Avoid using phone screen preset pixel sizes like 1080x1920 if printing standard paper).

• TURN ON GUIDES: Use the alignment tools and grid lines to keep your text safely aligned.

• LAYOUT GOLDEN RULES:

  • The Bleed Zone (Outer edges): Extend any background colors, photographs, or graphics all the way to the outer edge of the canvas to avoid white paper gaps when trimmed.

  • The Safe Zone (Inner area): Keep all important text, event details, logos, and critical design elements at least 4mm to 5mm inside the trim edge so nothing accidentally gets clipped off.
