Portal Home > Knowledgebase > Design Studios > What is Full Bleed?

Full bleed printing allows the ink to print beyond the edges of the paper. There will be no extra white space or any blank area showing after trimming.

Full bleed is printing from one edge of the paper to the other without the standard borders by which most personal printers are limited. This is useful for printing brochures, posters, and other print collateral. Often the paper is trimmed after printing to ensure the ink runs fully to the edge and does not stop short of it. Industry standard range from 1/8 to ½ of an inch from the crop (cut) marks.
