Prepress
Safe Area
The area inside the trim where text and key visuals should sit to avoid being cut.
Why it matters
Safe Area is part of the prepress 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.
