Trim area, Type/Live area, Bleed explained: Trim area is the actual size of the magazine.
Adverts that ‘bleed’ off the page will be trimmed to this size. Type area (also called Live area) is the area within the trim area where the type (or live information) should
be contained within. This ensures all information is visible to the reader. Bleed is an area 3mm larger than the trim size on all four sides and is required when adverts have pictures or colours going right to the edge of the page. This ensures that if the magazine is trimmed slightly off-centre, there will not be any white edges where there should be images. So, for full colour adverts, please supply at the bleed size.
