• Crop marks indicate the trim size once the piece is printed.
• The pink lines show where the piece will be trimmed to final size.
• The blue lines show 1/8 inch of bleed. Bleed is necessary because as printed pieces are cut to size in large stacks, they do not get cut exactly on the trim lines.
• Bleed prevents any blank white paper from showing up along the cut edges.
• The green lines show the type-safe area. Any text or other elements that you do not want trimmed must be within these safety guides
