Safety Margins:Text and important images must fall within the red boxes. Extending important elements beyond these lines can cause problems during cutting, folding and assembly. Parts of images or text can end up being trimmed off or fall directly on a fold.
Cut Lines: This is approximately where your artwork will be trimmed. Keeping all text and important images inside the 1/8th inch safety margins will prevent their unintended loss during cutting.
Bleeds: This area is going to be completely trimmed away during the cutting process. Only solid colors, background images or foregrounds images that intentionally runoff the page should extend through the area. Having bleeds will not have a thin white border around it.
Folds: Be very careful when running any text or important image over folds. Text, especially text under 9 pts. can be hard to read if it is falling on a fold.
