Print Margins Guide
Learn how margins and safe areas keep text and important graphics away from trim and printer limits.
Margins protect important content
Margins are the empty or safe space inside the page edge. They help keep text, logos, and important artwork from being cut off or too close to the edge.
For home printing, margins also help avoid printer non-printable edge areas.
Margin, safe area, and bleed
These terms are related, but they are not the same.
| Term | Where it sits | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Margin | Inside the page | Keeps content readable and safe |
| Safe area | Inside the trim edge | Protects important content |
| Bleed | Outside the trim edge | Prevents white edges after cutting |
