Bleeds and Cover Options (Available on non-newsprint publications only)
Bleeds
All non-newsprint publications may have bleeds, whether on the cover or inside pages. When an image or element on a page touches the edge of the page leaving no margin or white trim, it is said to bleed. Content may bleed or extend off one or more sides of the page. Images, rules, decorative text and other design elements can bleed off the page.
When creating bleeds, we recommend that all text remain within the .5" margin, unless this is a chosen design style. When working with bleeds, all content that should bleed must be extended .125" beyond the page edge.
Important:
When submitting an order, you must indicate what pages should have bleeds.

When selecting the self cover option, the cover will print on the same paper stock as the inside pages with no additional charge incurred.

Quick Fact
