What is a Bleed?
A Bleed is a technique used to ensure the print will continue to the very edge of the page after trimming. A margin (normally 3mm) is included in the initial design which will be cut off at the final stages of print. This extra margin ensures that images will always reach the edge of the document.

Trim Margin
This is where the document will be trimmed, any information after the margin will not be displayed in the final product.
Text Safety Margin
This is to ensure no vital information is lost. The company cannot be held responsible for any lost text beyond this point.
