Manchester Branded Templates
Template Formats
For most designs, brand templates are available in both Word (.doc) and Publisher (.pub) formats. Users may choose the format with which they feel most comfortable.
Bleeds
Many of the brand templates also offer a choice of bleeds or no bleeds. A bleed is when the print extends completely to the edge of the paper with no margin. Using bleeds requires printing on oversized paper with the print extending 1/8" past the page border. This is trimmed off to ensure that the print bleeds. If designing with a template that includes a bleed, make sure to notify the Print Shop of the need for oversized paper and trimming.
Design elements
Individual design elements are available for those who want to create a branded design "from scratch." If doing so, please familiarize yourself with proper usage of brand elements on pages pages 18-27 of Manchester's
Brand Standards manual.
