Programs
You can use the more common layout software for PC-Windows or Mac OsX to make blanks:
- Adobe Indesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, Acrobat
- If you are using Office programs, save the job as a PDF file.
Page size
- The page size of the document is the same as the page size of the final cut product.
- All colored surfaces and lines up to the edge of the page should be drawn 3 mm over the edge of the page.
- It is a good idea to have a stamp drawing in the folding base, so that the color base reaches to the edge
- pulled over the outermost frame by 3 mm.
- NOTE. Do not place text and images too close to the edge if it is not to be cut off.
