Bleed is a paper packaging printing term that refers to paper packaging printing that goes beyond the edge of the sheet before trimming. In other words, the bleed is the area to be trimmed off. The bleed is the part on the side of a document that gives the printer a small amount of space to account for movement of the paper, and design inconsistencies. Artwork and background colors can extend into the bleed area and after trimming, the bleed ensures that no unprinted edges occur in the final trimmed document.

Bleeds in the USA generally are 1/8 of an inch from where the cut is to be made. Bleeds in the UK and Europe generally are 2 to 5mm from where the cut is to be made. This can vary from one print company to another. Some printers ask for specific sizes; most of these companies place the specific demands on their website or offer templates that are already set to their required bleed settings. For example, traders purchase cosmetic paper box, jewelry paper box, wine paper box, clothing paper box, gift paper box with items from different factory, their paper packaging box may be different bleed when priting.

Full bleed is paper packaging printing from one edge of the paper to the other without the standard borders by which most personal printers are limited. This is useful for printing brochures, pringting posters, and other marketing materials. Often the paper is trimmed after paper packaging printing to ensure the ink runs fully to the edge and does not stop short of it.
