Bleed

Creative

Extra image area extended past the final trim edge so that if the cut lands slightly off, no white slivers show along the border. Standard print bleed is about 3 mm (1/8 in) on each side. Screen ads don't need it; print and large-format do.

Example

A flyer with a full-bleed background is built at 216×303 mm and trimmed down to A4 (210×297 mm).
