Print Layout

Baseline Grid

A horizontal grid used to align type across columns and pages.

Why it matters

Baseline Grid is part of the print layout phase of a print job. Marketers who understand it can brief printers more clearly and avoid costly proofing rounds.

In your workflow

  • Confirm specifications with your printer before file delivery.
  • Document standards in your brand guidelines so every job is consistent.
  • Always request a hard proof for large runs.
