Bleeds Explained

Here’s a pdf to show you: How to Create Bleeds for a Print Job

When a printed image extends to and off the edge of the paper it is called a “bleed”.

In print design, the artwork or block of color must extend off the edge of the page. The artwork or block of color is then printed on larger-size paper. Finally, the printed page is trimmed to the desired size.

The bleed should be created in your original file. If there is no bleed extended, we might be able to correct it, depending on the file specifics. An additional charge will apply.

If you have questions about bleeds or your print job, please reach out to our team.
