Working with Templates

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

Apart from the post requirements you also need to consider print specifications, such as exact size of the mail product and the 3mm bleed. Likewise, failing to meet this requirements can lead to required 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 new templates that you can download.
