Bleed

Bleed or the bleed allowance is used in printing and prepress to describe the area that is still being printed but which is outside the actual print and is cut off at the end.

Bleedbox

The BleedBox is one of the five PDF boxes. It describes the part of the PDF, including the content and the bleeding. In printing a bleed of 1 to 3 mm is usually required. A PDF file with an A4 page for printing so usually has a Trimbox of 210×297 mm, the trimmed page format. The BleedBox has with 3mm bleed around the page the size of 216x303mm.

Trimbox

The Trimbox is the final format of a PDF file without bleed. For an A4, the Trimbox of the PDF is therefore 210x297mm, while the Bleedbox would be 216x303mm with 3mm bleed all around.
