What is the minimum text-free area needed if I want to drill holes in my printed pieces?

When a piece is drilled, you want the hole to land in empty space so it never cuts through text or an important part of the design. Keep a clear, text-free margin along the edge where the hole will be placed.

A few tips for drilled holes:

• Leave a clean margin from the drill edge and keep all text out of that zone
• Mark the intended hole position in your artwork so it is easy to confirm
• Check with support for the exact safe distance for your specific product, since it varies by size and stock

If your proof is already approved and you need to move the hole, reject the free online proof and upload a new file with the corrected placement.
