: How to input these trim, type & bleed sizes into indesign I have the following specs but I have no idea how to create a new document in InDesign: Type depth – 70mm Type width – 262mm

@Nimeshi706

278mm x 87mm document

8mm margins all sides
(Trim depth/width minus Type depth/width leaves 16mm vertical and 16mm horizontal. Divide that by 2 to get each side... 8mm - this is the margin.) As it's used here, "Type" seems to refer to what is more commonly referred to as "live area" or "safe zone".

5.5mm bleed all sides
(Bleed depth/width minus Trim depth/width leaves 10mm vertical and 11mm horizontal, divide that by 2 to get each side and you get 5mm verticals and 5.5mm horizontals. So round up to 5.5mm - this is the bleed area. You can never have too much bleed, so rounding up is preferred.)
