Isn't Slug redundant, when Bleed oversteps the page and Bleed < Slug?
-
I read Scott's explanation, but Slug still feels redundant to me. Because Bleed < Slug, then whenever you cut the paper at Bleed, you will have cut off the Slug inescapably, simultaneously.

What does Scott mean by "actual stock"?
Bleeds are used to ensure any trimming which may be slightly inaccurate does not result in the actual stock showing at the edge of the piece. Slugs are only used to pass along production notes and are never intended to be part of any actually printed piece a reader would see.
