FAQ: Brochure Marketing
What is bleed and trim?• Bleed describes the edges of the document. To prevent a
white border from showing at the edge it is necessary to extend background color or artwork to the very edge. Trim lines are the finished size of the document, where the document is cut close or almost exactly to. Due to the mechanics of printing, the actual cut can take place anywhere between the bleed and trim lines. Try to keep text and artwork within these areas. To ensure an exact cut, please extend all borders and artwork by an 1/8" on all sides.
*For example, if you would like your final brochure to print 8.5 x 11 please make sure your document is 8.75 x 11.25.
