Cut Lines, Bleed Lines, Safe Zone Lines

The following are guidelines that we provide for your reference to ensure that all important image, text, and design elements will be included on your finished product. Because of the nature of production, unavoidable shifting of the paper will occur during the cutting process that may cause slight shifts in the alignment of your file.

• ___ Bleed Lines - For full color products that include an edge-to-edge image layout, the artwork must extend to the the dark blue outside line completely in order to avoid white edges on the product. Appropriate bleed along the edges will ensure that there are no white edges where the cut has occurred outside the edge of the print on the finished product
• ----- Cut Lines - A dotted fuchsia pink line indicates the cut line for the product. When the product is cut down during production, this is where the cuts will approximately be placed. This line will shift somewhat during the cutting process. If your product has an edge-to-edge print, it is important that the edge of your image extends past the cut line to the dark blue bleed line.
• ------ Safe Zone Lines - A dotted cyan blue line indicates the "safe zone" area for the product. Any critical image or text details must be within this area to avoid being cut off in production during alignment shifts during the cutting process. For example, if you upload an image that has people, cropping your image so that a person's head sits outside the dotted blue safe zone line may result in part of the head being cut off.
• ///// Overlap Lines - Some image upload products will contain additional overlap lines. These show the areas to avoid arranging your image, preventing your image from being covered. For example, a product like a water bottle label will overlap on the back side when it is applied. The area where the overlap will occur is indicated by the overlap lines.
