What does trim mean InDesign?
Trim size represents the final dimensions of your ad. For full page ads, this is also the size of the publication. However, artwork and photographs must extend beyond the trim size (see “bleed” below) to avoid narrow slivers of white at the edge of your ad once it is cut to size.

When do you set the bleed in InDesign?

How do you print to the edge in Adobe InDesign?
Print your artwork right to the edge of the paper using the proper setup option in Adobe InDesign. To print to the paper’s edge without any margins around your design, first extend your design into a bleed area so it’s slightly larger than your finished print size.
What’s the difference between trim and bleed in printing?
Trim – This is the final dimension of the document, after it has been printed and then cut down to size. Bleed – This is the Trim size, plus the parts that will be cut off after printing. This is done because printers typically can’t print to the very edge of the material, so they print a little larger than the desired size.
