In order to print full bleed (no white lines down the edges) the ink coverage must exceed the final print dimensions. The trim line is located 1/8th of an inch inside your design your submit. For ex, a CD Cover is 4.75″x4.75″ +0.25″ bleed. You submit a 5″x5″ file and we cut the 4.75″x4.75 inside. So the background of your design must be extended 1/8th of an inch outside of the trim line.
