Does Instant Digital Download include bleed???

Hello,

I tested this topic time ago, but due to various disappointings I've been faced from Zazzle and other entities, I cannot now re-do an overall checking from my end.

I would like to know about the following:

Do Files downloadable from customers with Instant/Digital Donwload inlcude the bleed space of the design layout in Zazzle edit tool?

Just talking about basic visual knowledges, it should not include, it is digital... And as stated from Zazzle is not available for commercial uses, so not even avaiable to be used for printing.

If they order a digital file, they can take it to a printer an print out their event invitations. That is still private use. Same for signs and seating charts.

It should be not available for commercial use as last Zazzle terms I know. It is digital, not for print. Zazzle term says it is not available for commercial use.

Anyway I asked in my post about bleed for another reason.

Moreover, it's needed to know if the bleed space is included in the file customer download. As they are for digital use, it should not be included. Quite simple.

Did something change in Zazzle terms and conditions?

Hi @osea

The bleed area is included in the print-ready files, not the digital sharing files. The usage for downloads is for personal use, however this does include having them printed at a local store as well as at home where a bleed area would be necessary. You can find out more about the Instant Download Terms here

Hope this helps!
