What Is Bleed?
A Bleed is the area of a document that extends beyond the final trim size. This extra area ensures that when the document is trimmed to its final size, there are no unwanted white borders or edges. In other words, bleed allows for a seamless edge where the print goes all the way to the edge of the paper.
Using bleed in your design process ensures that your printed materials look great and professional. It's a simple step that can make a big difference in the final product.
