What are bleeds?

When an image extends beyond the final trim of the page we say it has “bled” off the page. In actuality, the page is trimmed at the bleed edge to provide this effect.

In printing parlance, a bleed is a piece that is printed right to the edge of the paper. We don’t really print to the edge-we print the piece .25″ larger and then trim it down to the finished size. If you want your piece printed right to the edge, be sure to design it from the beginning with an extra .25″ beyond the finished dimensions. For instance, if your finished piece is 8.5″ by 11″, layout your document with a size of 8.75″ by 11.25″. After printing, we’ll trim .125″ from all sides.
