Question
What do the red and blue lines mean on my proof?
Answer
The colored lines on your proof are trim and safety guides that help you keep important content from being cut. They do not print on the finished piece.
- Red line: the cut line where the product is trimmed.
- Safe zone: anything inside it is kept and printed.
- Outside the cut line: anything there may be trimmed off.
- Rule of thumb: keep all important design elements well inside the lines so nothing is lost.
Backgrounds and images can extend to the edge, but text and logos should stay comfortably within the safe area.
