"Bleed" is the term used to indicate the area of a printed image that
will be trimmed off after the document is printed and cut to the finished
size. Printed pieces that have a white border around all 4 edges do NOT bleed.
Projects that make use of image bleed must typically extend any background
and/or images 2.5mm beyond the final trim edge (crop marks). We
will create bleeds by cutting on the crop marks, through the enlarged
image/background.
Note that in the above image the background colour extends beyond
the crop marks. The graphic image also extends past the crop area on
the bottom and left of the card.
Depending upon which software you are using, if you do not understand
how to create bleeds, we can typically create them for you. Let us
know when submitting your job or estimate request.
