Trim, bleed and safe area Trim size is the finished size after cutting: a letter flyer is 8.5 × 11 in.Bleed is the artwork that runs past the trim so no white edge shows after cutting. On most items it is 0.125 in (3 mm) on every side, so the artwork is 0.25 in larger than the trim each way.Safe area is where text and logos belong: 0.25 in (6 mm) inside the trim, away from the cut.Banners and displays without bleed are supplied at exactly their finished size.
