What Are Bleed & Crop Marks?
Crop Marks (Trim Marks)
Small lines printed at the corners of a page that show the printer exactly where to cut. They define the final trim size of your printed piece.
- • Placed outside the final trim area
- • Standard length: 5-10mm
- • Usually printed in registration black
Bleed Area
Extra area beyond the trim line where your design extends. This ensures no white edges appear if the cut is slightly off — which always happens in production.
- • Standard: 3mm (0.125") all sides
- • Design must extend into bleed
- • Gets trimmed off in finishing
