Frequently Asked Questions
What is print bleed and why is it needed?
Bleed is an extra margin (typically 3mm or 0.125 inches) extending beyond the trim line of a printed document. It prevents unprinted white paper edges when sheets are cut in stacks.
What is a safe zone margin in print?
The safe zone is an inner margin (typically 3–5mm inside the trim line) where all critical text, logos, and focal elements must stay to avoid being trimmed off.
