🧑💻 Step-by-Step: Exporting a Print-Ready PDF from Canva
✅ Step 1: Set Correct Dimensions in Canva
Use the correct canvas size for the product you're printing. Here's a quick reference:
| Product | Canva Design Size (inches) |
|---|---|
| Business Cards | 3.5” x 2” (add bleed) |
| Flyers | 5.5” x 8.5” or 8.5” x 11” |
| Roll-Up Banners | 33” x 80” or custom |
| Foam Boards | 18” x 24”, 24” x 36” or custom |
| Workbooks & Documents | 8.5” x 11” (standard letter size) |
| Badges/Lanyards | 3” x 4” or custom |
📝 Tip: Always include 0.125" bleed on all sides (that’s 0.25" extra in width and height total) to avoid any white edge after trimming.
