Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What bleed size should I use?
Standard is 3mm (0.125 inches). Check with your printer for specific requirements.
What happens to content in the bleed area?
The bleed area extends the page background and edge content beyond the trim line. After cutting, no white edges appear.
Does adding bleed change my page size?
Yes. The page dimensions increase by the bleed amount on each side. For example, 3mm bleed adds 6mm to both width and height.
Do I need bleed for every print job?
Only when your design has content (images, colors) extending to the edge of the page. Documents with white margins don't need bleed.
