Follow these simple steps to design your Shelf Talker for print:
1. Choose Shelf Talker size
Check available sizes before sending your Shelf Talker for global print with Cloudprinter.com.
2. Add assembly tab
The assembly tab is the 50.8 mm (2 in) top piece zone of your Shelf talker. Don't forget to add the assembly tab to your Shelf talker.
3. Set Shelf Talker bleeds
The next step is setting the bleed areas at each side of your Shelf Talker to make sure all important information is kept safe. For this, simply add 3 mm (0.125 in) at each side of the Shelf Talker. Keep in mind that bleeds should be added to the full size of your Shelf Talker + assembly tab 50.8 mm (2 in). Make sure your information is within the bleed limits; colors, background images and the layout of your Shelf Talker design extend to the bleeds area as well, so that there are no white edges after cutting. We also recommend avoiding placing text or important information inside of the safe zone — the 3 mm (0.125 in) inside of the cutting edge in order not to be clipped when cutting your Shelf Talker. This way, you won't lose any data while you design your Shelf Talker.
4. Prepare Shelf Talker file for printing
