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 on the 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 arrea is going to be completely trimmed away during the cutting process. Only solid colors, background images or foreground images that intentionally run off the page should extend through this area. Harving Bleeds ensures that your artwork 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 pt can be hard to read if it is falling or a fold.
