Crops - Bleed - Margins
• Crop Marks: Show us where to trim the final document
• Bleed: Necessary for any color/images that go to the edge of the page - allows for clean cuts and prevents white edges from the slight movement in printing/cutting
• Margins: Inside the "Safe Area" - we recommend keeping everything 1/4in from the edge of the page to prevent anything from getting cut off.
