Page size
Check that you have set your page size to match the final printed size. Use whole millimetres.
Margins
A safety margin is to be considered when setting up your file. Margin set-up is dependent on your product. For example, if your document is wiro bound, you will need to keep all important design elements such as text clear from the binding edge.

If your artwork goes to the edge of the page, you will need to add 3mm bleed.
