Next, let’s set the margins: this will be the guide for the live area in our document.
0.125 inches is a standard bleed area, but don’t be alarmed if your printer asks for something different. InDesign calculates bleed by ⅛ inch increments, so if you click the up arrow, it will change the bleed from 0 to 0.125 inches (which is the same as a ⅛ inch). To set this area up, go to the bottom of the New Document dialog. This is so if anything shifts in printing, you'll still have a small margin for error before the final cover is accidentally cropped.
Have you ever tried to use scissors to cut the border off an image you printed? It’s difficult not to get little white edges if you’re cutting right where the colour transitions to paper.Īnything that’s meant to go off the edge of the page should extend to the bleed boundary when you’re setting up a template like this one. We still need to set up the bleed, which is when the images, text or colours are printed all the way to the edge of the paper. This diagram shows your bleed, trim and live areasĭon’t click okay just yet.
