Extra material at the edge of the print is turned over and stitched or welded depending on the specifications of the project. It is important that nothing crucial (like text and logos) falls in the pocket area. Think of pockets like “margins.” For instance, if a 36” x 48” banner has 3″ pockets on all sides, all important information must fit within 35”x 37.5”. Background images and non-essential design elements may go into the pocket area.
