Set Up 5mm Safety Margin: Artwork Files for Folds

When creating an artwork file that involves folds, it’s crucial to consider the required safety margins on each side of the folding lines. Due to the mechanical nature of folding machines, the actual folding line on the final product may deviate up to 2 or 3 mm on each side. Without a safety margin, the fold could intersect with text, images, or other content.

We strongly recommend leaving a margin of 5mm on each side of the folding line to ensure 100% safety for your content.

Key Points:

• Include a safety margin of 5mm on each side of the folding line.

In summary, to receive your printed product in its intended form, free from errors or deviations from the original design, it is imperative to incorporate a safety margin on each side of the folding line.
