Understanding Bleeding in the Printing World
What is Bleeding?
Whenever we ask our customers for files of their design, we ask for high-resolution PDFs with 1/8th inch bleed all around the design. The bleed is kind of like room for error when it comes to printing. If you were to send us a picture without a bleed zone, you might see that part of your picture gets cut off too far or not far enough, and then you have a white space along the edge.
Why Do You Need Bleed Space?
When you cut a high number of products at the same time, there is a little bit of give when the machine cuts through the sheets. If you do not have that bleed space, you could have white showing, or we would have to cut it shorter than you expected.
Many customers have a hard time understanding the concept of bleeding, so we wanted to show you in this video what it is and how it can affect your final product.
Having a proper bleed zone is going to help us give you the product you need and allows us to make your piece more professional.
