Why the bleed line matters

During printing, small shifts can happen when your product is trimmed. If your background doesn’t extend to the bleed line, these shifts can leave unwanted white edges.

When background colors or images extend to the bleed line, this is called full bleed. Full bleed ensures your background prints all the way to the edge of your product.
