Nobody expects you to master printing overnight. That's why we've included a search bar and links that direct you to our comprehensive Knowledge Base.

Bleed is the part of your artwork at the edges that goes past the trim lines. This area is trimmed away during the printing process.
In professional printing, several pages are printed on a large single sheet, which is then cut into individual pages or products like brochures or posters. If your design fills the page but lacks additional bleed, you may see unwanted white borders on the final product.
It's crucial for any designs that reach the edge of the page to extend beyond the trim lines. This ensures that there are no white edges after trimming.
At YouLovePrint, we recommend adding a 3mm bleed to all artwork to prevent these issues.
