CD/DVD Guidelines
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 or 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 unintended loss during cutting.
Bleeds: This are 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 though this area . Having 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 pts. can be hard to read if it is falling on a fold.
