i have done a few and learnt it’s best to get the info from the fitting company as they have a nasty habit of rejecting posters that aren’t to their exact spec.

I am actually doing the fitting – someone else is doing the design. I need to give the designers the trim and safety area – I’m not sure what to tell them. The actual area of the poster is 3000mm x 10000mm, what do I say for trim and safety. They insist on these values.

well you can choose what ever your comfy with. Some of the ones i have done have a 25mm overlap on the edges that join.

Thanks Colin,
The overlap between the joints I do at my end. Its the trim and safety area around the edge of the whole graphic that they are after. It’s not something that I will use as I will be printing the graphics, however they are insisting on these values, and I don’t know what to tell them without sounding unprofessional.
Thanks -
Do you know what the trim and safety area is exactly? In terms of definition of those terms?

Peter, As far as I am aware, trim is where the sign will be cut – safety area is where the graphics will go without getting too close to the trim?
but what are suitable values? I have always managed to get by without needing this, but the designer whats them and I need to give him some values….. -
Please see the attached – it may be of some use.
