How to Print Christmas Borders Without Cutting Them Off

Most home printers leave a small unprinted margin around the edge of the page, so a border that runs close to the edge can get trimmed. A few settings help:

  1. Open the print preview before you print and look at the corners.
  2. Choose “Fit” or “Fit to page” in the print settings (the wording differs by program). The page shrinks slightly so the whole border sits inside your printer’s margins.
  3. Avoid “Actual size” unless your printer can print to the edge of the paper.
  4. If your printer has a borderless option, try it on a test page.
  5. Print one page first, then print the rest once the border looks right.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Christmas borders used for?

They are printable pages with a festive frame and a blank center. People use them for letters, notes, flyers, invitations, classroom handouts and scrapbook pages.

What size are the border pages?

US Letter, 8.5 x 11 inches, 9 pages of border designs, so they print on standard paper at home.

Can I type on the border pages?

You can print the page and write by hand, or add your text in a PDF editor before printing. The center is a wide white space for a message.

Can I use these for a letter to Santa?

Yes. The borders make a good letterhead, and the letter to Santa templates have lined versions if you want guidelines.

Why does my border get cut off when I print?

Home printers cannot print right to the edge of the paper. Use “Fit to page” in the print settings and check the print preview so the whole border stays on the page.
