When printing your job, it is necessary to print on an area larger than the correct document size. This extra area of print is called the ‘bleed’ and is required to ensure that the ink covers the entire surface of the paper and does not leave a strip of unprinted white paper around the edges. We recommend a 6 mm bleed on each side of any supplied artwork. We also recommend that any text and images are kept a further 3mm in from the Trim size to avoid being cut off as slight movement may occur when printing. See guide below.
