Its the "safe" area when you are printing something that runs off the page. Say you got a flyer that has an image that goes to the edge, you wana make it a lil bigger so when they are cut, you wont lose any image if the page shifts when cut....LOL, i think i confused myself....

 

[INCHEZ]

lol...Cool.....thanks playa.

Yes 5 x 5 WITH bleed. 4.75 x 4.75 WITHOUT bleed. Do your research.
