Bleed is the term used when printing goes all the way to the edge of your product.  If you have images or backgrounds that you want to bleed off the edge of the paper, you must create your file slightly larger than the finished size. To create a bleed, make your document 1/8” larger on all four sides. Any ink that extends to the edge of the product should extend at least 1/8” outside the final trim size. Not allowing enough bleed could result in a white border after final trim.
