Question

What does the pink line on my digital proof mean?

Answer

The pink line on your digital proof marks the cut line, the exact path where the piece will be trimmed or die cut. It is a guide only and does not print on the finished product.

  • Pink or magenta line: the final cut path, where the sheet is trimmed to size or die cut to shape.
  • Anything outside the cut line is bleed, meaning background art that gets trimmed away.
  • Keep important text and logos safely inside the cut line so nothing critical is trimmed off.

If your artwork ends right at the pink line without bleed, small shifts during cutting can leave a thin unprinted edge, so extend background color past the line before you approve.
