Glad that separation exists — bleed vs safety as two knobs is exactly what I’d want. On postcard runs I’ve still seen faces nicked when safety stays at the usual 0.125″ floor, so I keep postcard at 5 mm even with 3 mm bleed already in the PDF. Nice that Printery makes that adjustable without fighting the bleed setting.
Solid guide. One nit from small-format cards: that 0.125″ safe zone is a floor, not always enough. On photocards I keep 3 mm bleed everywhere, but safety goes to 4 mm on most sizes and 5 mm on postcard (100×150) — faces sit too close to the edge and cutters wander. Separate layers for foil/UV: same lesson. I preview those stacks in a browser workshop for light/depth only, and I won’t call the export press-ready until the shop soft-proofs the real stock. Figma guides plus an honest “this is not a die” label have saved me more reprints than any plugin alone.
Small practical split when people move from sticker mockups to cards: holographic base material (sheet flash under ink) is not the same job as hot foil stamping. Screen previews also rarely equal a white-ink manufacturing layer — a lot of prep exports leave that out (manufacturingReady: false). Ask the shop for coverage / min stroke on the stock you bought, then proof.
