Off-centered Labels?

During the converting process, some shifting can occur on your labels 1/16th of an inch in any direction. To ensure everything you intend to see printed is included on your label, we have safe zone and bleed requirements on your artwork files to be 0.125" inside and outside of the cut line. 


See the diagram below for examples of standard shifting that can occur: 

Anything in the safe zone will not be at risk of being cut off the label, but the label could shift all the way up to that safe zone border. On smaller labels, this 1/8th of an inch shift can be more noticeable, especially if the label has a border close to the safe zone.


We guarantee that this shifting will not be greater than 1/16th in any direction.  If you're concerned about the visibility of shifting on your labels, reach out and we'll be happy to troubleshoot your concerns and offer some ideas on how to minimize the appearance of this shifting.
