What is a bleed?

A bleed is important if you are wanting to print a large quantity of something like flyers, business cards, or invitations. Bleed is a printing term that is used to describe a document which has images or elements that touch the edge of the page, extending beyond the trim edge and leaving no white margin. When a document has bleed, it must be printed on a larger sheet of paper and then trimed down. Bleeds are generally 1/8 of an inch from where the cut is to be made.

Below you can watch a video that describes how to make a bleed when setting up a document in InDesign.
