A. A bleed is when artwork or printing falls off the edge of the finished product. In the case of binders, artwork through the spine hinges is also considered a bleed. A bleed requires printing on oversize material and then trimming, welding or wrapping afterwards.

A bleed is a printing term meaning that color and print runs off the piece. In order to print with a bleed, we need you to lay out your art so that it goes 1/8″ beyond the page margins. All prices on our website include a bleed.

Bleed is the term for printing that goes right to the edge of the paper. To create a bleed, make your document one-eighth of an inch too large in all four directions. For example, the layout dimensions for a 4 x 6 inch postcard would be 4.25 x 6.25 inches. Then, when the design is created, images are stretched all the way to the edge. After printing, the additional .125 inch on each side is trimmed off. This gives the appearance that the image “runs” right off the edge.

A bleed is the area that will be cut off from the print to prevent the final artwork from having white edges. When scanning images, keep the bleed in mind so you do not have to force a bleed by resizing an image. This will inevitably cause a loss of sharpness and make the pixels more apparent.
