What are the trim line and safe area in packaging artwork?
Artwork should include a 3 mm bleed area beyond the trim line on each side to prevent white edges after cutting.
Artwork should include a 3 mm bleed area on each side beyond the trim line to prevent white edges after cutting. Important text and logos should remain within the safe area, at least 3 mm from the trim line, to ensure the final packaging looks clean and professional.
Proper Safe Area
When artwork includes a proper safe area and important text and logos are kept at least 3 mm away from the trim line, the final packaging can maintain a complete layout, balanced appearance, and consistent quality even in mass production, resulting in a more refined presentation.
No Safe Area
During printing and die-cutting, if the artwork does not include a proper safe area, the finished packaging may show white edges, misaligned graphics, or text placed too close to the trim line, affecting the overall appearance and professionalism of the packaging.
