4/4

bleed


When color is printed all the way to the edge of a page (or card), the color must extend a certain amount past the edge of the piece so that when it is cut to size, there is no chance of a strip of white (or other color) if the cutting knife or die is off a smidge.

coated stock


Not to be confused with an Aqueous coat or UV Coat, coated stock comes from the paper factory with a clear coating on it that prevents ink from soaking in too much. Coated stock really makes colors "pop".
