Page Layout Specifications\u00a0<\/strong><\/h5>

Set up the size of each page to include the Bleed Area <\/span>(3mm all around).<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

1. BLEED AREA<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The Bleed Area refers to the outer margin of each page that will be cropped off\u2000<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

when the book is trimmed to its final size. This area enables you to insert<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

backgrounds and images that run through into this margin allowing for a nicely<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>trimmed finishing.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

For an A4 book (210 x 297mm), set up the page to 216 x 303mm allowing for a<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

3mm Bleed Area all round.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

This is indicated by the area in red. Do not place any text or important part of an<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

image element in this area. If you require an image to stretch to the edge of the<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

trimmed page, you must stretch the image past the Trim Line and into this area.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

2. TRIM SIZE\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>

This refers to the Artwork size after bleed area is cut away<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

3. DANGER ZONE<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The Danger Zone is the 2mm margin from the trim area. Any text or images<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

within this area risks being trimmed off. While you may have images stretched<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

into this area, keep ALL text outside this area.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

4. THE SAFE AREA\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>

The Safe Area is within the blue line. This can be around 20mm from the trim size.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Your images and text within this area are safe and will remain as part of the book.<\/span><\/p>

Page Layout Specifications\u00a0<\/strong><\/h5>

For pages where you intend to have a Spread i.e. images and text that stretch across 2 side-by-side-page, overlap the Bleed Area by duplicating the image that is shared across the 2 pages.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

How do I set up bleed in Canva?<\/strong><\/h5>

1. Create or select existing template.
2. Go to File \u2013 View settings \u2013 Show print bleed. <\/u>
3. A border of dotted lines will appear close to the edges of your design. This is
the bleed margin and cannot be adjusted.
4. If there are white areas around the edges of your artwork, resize or stretch the
background to fill them. Adjust design elements away from the edges to avoid
being cut off or you can adjust
