Question
What is perforation?
Answer
Perforation is a line of small cuts or holes that lets a section be torn away cleanly by hand, without scissors.
- Clean separation: the weakened line guides an even tear.
- Common uses: tear-off coupons, ticket stubs, and response cards.
- Placement: the perf line marks exactly where the piece detaches.
- Design tip: keep important text and images clear of the perforation.
