4 × 6 inch polaroid size
A 4 × 6 inch polaroid is the large photo sheet. The die cut is 101.6 × 152.4 mm. The finished face is 95.6 × 148.4 mm, and the safe zone is 93.6 × 146.4 mm.
The die cut is 101.6 × 152.4 mm. The bleed is 3 mm on the left and right and 2 mm on the top and bottom, from the 95.6 × 148.4 mm face out to the die cut. The safe margin is 1 mm inside the face, so names and faces stay inside the 93.6 × 146.4 mm safe zone.
| Line | Size | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Die cut | 101.6 × 152.4 mm | The machine cuts the paper on this line. |
| Finished face | 95.6 × 148.4 mm | What a person sees after the piece is pressed. |
| Bleed | 3 mm left and right, 2 mm top and bottom | Background runs from the finished face out to the die cut. If it stops short, the edge prints white. |
| Safe margin | 1 mm inside the face | Names and faces stay inside the 93.6 × 146.4 mm safe zone. |
Bad example. The name is cut off because it crosses the 93.6 × 146.4 mm safe zone. The colour stops at the finished face, so the bleed prints white.
Good example. The name is kept inside the 93.6 × 146.4 mm safe zone. The colour runs across the bleed to the 101.6 × 152.4 mm die cut.
