After any manuscript is printed, it needs to be cut to become a finished product, and there will inevitably be errors in the cutting.
Therefore, when designing, a 3mm area will be added around the finished size to prevent important content from being cut out or white edges from being left due to cutting errors. These purposely left safe areas are bleeds.
The bleed line is used to mark which parts of the picture need to be cut off the line, the bleed line outside the area will be cut off before the binding of the print, so it is also known as the cut line.
The general print bleed position is 3mm by default, for example, the size of the finished print is 210*285mm, the design needs to set the size of 216*291mm (i.e., surrounded by 3mm on each side).
