FULL BLEED (91x63mm): extend your background design to this edge, on all sides.
TRIM SIZE (89x51mm) – this is a finished size after trimming.
SAFE ZONE: all critical elements (text, images, logotype) must be kept inside this area.
Disable “Trim lines set” for now.

Nice and simple, thanks for clear tutorial.
very nice work. a perfect combination of simplicity and professionalism.
There are certainly loads of particulars like that to take into consideration. That could be a great point to deliver up. I provide the ideas above as basic inspiration however clearly there are questions like the one you carry up where the most important thing will likely be working in honest good faith. I don?t know if best practices have emerged around issues like that, however I am positive that your job is clearly identified as a fair game. Both girls and boys feel the affect of just a second’s pleasure, for the remainder of their lives.
