Bleed and crop marks

If your artwork runs to the edge of a page it will need a bleed. This means the artwork will bleed over the edge, usually printers ask for 3mm. When the artwork is printed, it’s printed on a larger oversized sheet then trimmed down to the right size. If you don’t allow for a bleed your artwork might end up not running to edge of the page and have a white gap. Include crop marks when you save your file, this will show the printers where your bleed is and where they should trim the document.
