** IMPORTANT Note about Bleed Products: Valpak’s templates are intentionally built without bleed settings applied. If using a Valpak template and your product calls for a bleed, do not enter any bleed settings. Instead, simply build your layout according to the bleed margins designated on the template.

IMPORTANT NOTE TO DESIGNERS: Valpak requires designating a 3 inch x .6 inch area of white space for the imprinting code. Click the link below for more details of the imprinting area.

How to build this product:

!!! INCORRECT:

Horizontal Layout visual showing an incorrectly built OCB44-L+I product. Notice that some text, and the business logo are outside the Live Image Area, and the bleed elements do not fully extend to the bleed size. This will result in the text and business logo elements being trimmed, and there will be a white border where the bleed should be.

CORRECT:
