Layout Dimensions and Folding
- Bleeds: Bleed is when printed matter extends to the edge of a sheet or page after trimming. Any bleed must extend at least 1/8".
- Live area/Safe area: All graphics not intended to bleed, must be a minimum of 1/4" from the trimmed edge. This will ensure positive trimming/binding output.
