What is a “bleed” in a cover design?
“Bleed” is the term for printing that goes right to the edge of the paper. Printed pieces that have a white border or white around the edges, do not bleed. If you have images or backgrounds that you want to print (bleed) off the edge of the paper, then you must design your job larger than the final CUT SIZE. We create bleeds by actually cutting through the enlarged image/background.
