If you’re designing your own artwork in Canva or InDesign, you’ll see an option for “bleed” — and it’s not as scary as it sounds.
🩸 What is Bleed?
Bleed is the extra space around your design (usually 3mm) that ensures there are no white edges after your print is trimmed.
Without bleed, you risk:
- White borders on coloured backgrounds
- Cropped text or logos
- Uneven results
✅ How to Add It:
- In Canva: File → Show Print Bleed
- Export as PDF Print → Tick “Crop marks & bleed”
At Replica Print, we always check bleed before sending anything to print — but designing it correctly from the start saves time and gives a better result.
