75 mm button badge size and print layout
A 75 mm button badge is a large circular pin-back badge, also called a jumbo badge. Abhishek Design Studio lays out that circle. The shop sells the 75 mm material and the 75 mm machine.
The die cut is 86 mm. The bleed is 5.5 mm on each side, from the 75 mm face out to the die cut. The safe margin is 2.5 mm inside the face, so names and faces stay inside the 70 mm safe zone.
| Line | Size | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Die cut | 86 mm | The machine cuts the paper on this line. |
| Finished face | 75 mm | What a person sees after the piece is pressed. |
| Bleed | 5.5 mm on each side | Background runs from the finished face out to the die cut. If it stops short, the edge prints white. |
| Safe margin | 2.5 mm inside the face | Names and faces stay inside the 70 mm safe zone. |
Bad example. The name is cut off because it crosses the 70 mm safe zone. The colour stops at the finished face, so the bleed prints white.
Good example. The name is kept inside the 70 mm safe zone. The colour runs across the bleed to the 86 mm die cut.
