The lines

• Blue line: the bleed edge. Extend your background to it, so no white edge shows after cutting.
• Red dashed line: where it is cut.
• Green dashed line: the safe area. Keep text and logos inside it.
• Gray dash-dot line: where it folds, like a brochure's panels, a flag's pole pocket or a catalog cover around its spine, or the edge of an envelope's flap. Keep text off the fold. Folded templates have an outside and an inside page, with each panel named.
• Magenta line: the die cut, like a door hanger's hole. It is cut through, so keep text and logos away from it. A dashed one is scored to fold.
• Gray band: covered once it is finished, like a pole flag's grommet strip or the part of a banner that goes into its stand, or an envelope's window, where no ink prints. Keep text and logos out of it.
• Orange dotted line: perforated, where it tears off, like a ticket's stub. Keep text and logos off the line.
