When using thin lines, they may appear as dotted lines.

You can prevent garbled characters by outlining and putting them in shapes.
Remove unnecessary anchor points.
Note that the unnecessary anchor points created by the text tools have the same nature as fonts.
Bleed
We cut along the ① line.
When placing an image or color solid on the background of your design, you need at least 1 cm or more bleed beyond this line.
The ② line is a guide for the layout.
In cutting processes, there may be misalignment of up to 5 mm.
Make sure that the characters and designs that should not be cut are enclosed inside the line.
A good example
Bleed up to the ③ line, and the complete inclusion of letters and illustrations within the line of ②.
Bad examples
<1> No bleed
Misalignment in cutting processes make borders unpainted.
<2>Insufficient bleed
As in <1>, misalignment make borders unpainted.
<3> letters and designs not kept within the ② line
As in <1>, the letters and designs are cut off.
<4> Designs with borders along with the surrounding frame
Misalignment in cutting processes can make borders unevenly.
