I’ve looked and searched on the forum and couldn’t find anything.
I usually keep .25" to be safe- depends on the printer really, sometimes .125" will work!

Okay, For some reason I can’t seem to get it set up. I know how stupid this sounds, but I can get the ones on the top and the left but not the bottom and the right.
Am I doing something wrong?
What software?
Bleed dimensions etc explained at Vistaprint, hope it helps:

It really depends on the printing company and their machines… usually it’s 3 - 5 mm sometimes even more (sorry, don’t know about the inches).
Most companies I work with want a file, where the bleed is already added to the “artboard”…

Thanks to everyone. This helped me out tremedously.
Thanks! This thread helped me out too.
5mm is always your best bet.
If you’re using Photoshop or any type of creative software, you can always make your image the exact size you need. Drag out your guides to each edge, then go to image>canvas size and add your bleed by increasing the size by inches or millimeters. You can leave your guides to show where your crop marks will go.
I picked up this tip from Veerle Peterson’s Blog. Hopefully you can find the information useful.

It’s cool. That’s how I often setup the guides
Thanks Amanda, the tip has been extremely useful for me. Greedybrown, nice to know you handle it this way too.
Interesant post. Thank you Mkhaled
The best place to get flyers is idsketch.com who prints custom flyers, custom stickers, custom folders or banners or other printing items at affordable rates with free design and shipment.
Custom Flyers (http://www.idsketch.com/custom-flyer.asp)
The Brochure Designers suggest 0.125" on each side, that is 0.25" added in height and 0.25" added in width. The canvas size for your 8.5" x 11" flyer should be 8.75" x 11.25".
should i leave the bleed layer visible and unlock in file ?
