Working with Templates

These are requirements from the post service, and failing to meet them can lead to increased costs or mandatory design changes.

Apart from the post requirements, you also need to consider print specifications, such as the exact size of the mail product and the 3 mm bleed. Likewise, failing to meet these requirements can lead to mandatory changes to the design. Here you can learn more about preparing your print materials.


Important: Don't forget to access your optilyz account and download the layout templates before you start designing. The Post adapts their requirements at irregular intervals, so we provide you with up-to-date templates for download.
