Reply To: Difference between Slug and Bleed

So let's see how this would work in our world. Say we put in fold marks outside the trim. If they don't touch the inside of the page trim, then they would fall off if we did not indicate slug in the document setup?

Correct.

I just tried it out (usually I work with plain text pages ;-), and contrary to what I believed before, it seems you have to phyisically set the Bleed to more than the Slug — i.e., the Bleed value includes the Slug and does not add to it.

So initially I had set both bleed and slug to “5mm” and was surprised to see only one additional 5 mm edge around my test doc. After setting the Slug to “10mm”, I got the extra space around bleed.
