What is a “Bleed” and How Is It Used?

The “bleed,” represented by the purple border in the image above, is a margin of extra space that should be included in your design, but will not be visible after installation. Best practice is to extend any graphics or background colors all the way through the .3” of bleed area and up to the edge to ensure that there is no “dead space” around the border of your ad. This will guarantee that no important parts of your advertising message are accidentally hidden along the billboard’s edges.

“The secret to doing anything is believing that you can do it.”
