Anything that comes within 0.125\u201d of the edge of the cut line could potentially be cut off, so you want to be precise when aligning your text and design elements.<\/p> <!--[\/col]--><\/div> <\/div><\/div><\/div> <!--\/block--> <!--block--><div class=\"row center-xs\"><div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-8\"><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-xs-12\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><!--\/block--> <div class=\"row center-xs\"> <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-11 col-md-8\"> <div class=\"row center-xs\"> <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-10 col-md-8\"> <h3>Bleed Area<\/h3> <p><a href=\"https:\/\/smartpress.com\/support\/printing-basics\/bleed-borders\">Bleed<\/a> is any content that goes beyond the trim line to the edge of the sheet, or in this case, the business card. It\u2019s an area where content (like imagery) is extended from one side to another but doesn\u2019t include critical information. When you think about what size is a standard business card &#8211; or any size, really &#8211; you also have to think about the bleed size.
