Images, background colours and fills which are intended to print to the trimmed edge of the page should be extended 3mm beyond the page to give a 'bleed' (to allow for tolerances in the cutting process). Text, boxes and other areas you need on your finished job should ideally be 5mm in from the edges of the page.
