Complete Figma or Canva export process to print format<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Export your Figma images<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Dimensions:<\/strong> Export your images to JPG using the formula (width in mm) x 10 x (height in mm) x 10<\/code> in pixels. For example, for a print size of 8.9 x 5.9 mm (with margins, as on OnlinePrinters), create an image of 890 x 590 pixels (8.9 x 10 and 5.9 x 10).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Bleed margins:<\/strong> Make sure you have at least 4mm of bleed margin around your design to avoid imprecise cuts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. JPG format:<\/strong> Export to JPG for default optimization. You can fine-tune the optimization with software like Squoosh: https:\/\/squoosh.app\/<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
