Why is it important to place text and graphics within the safe area

SAFE AREA: where can you find it?

In our downloadable templates, you can find guidelines in different colours that help you correctly position the elements of your design. Among these lines, there is a red one labeled safe area.

When using Designer, our online graphic design tool, the line that defines the safe area is green instead.

 

SAFE AREA: what is it for?

When a material is cut, tiny deviations of 1-2 mm in the cut are inevitable. The same thing happens when you cut a sheet of paper with scissors, right? That's why it's important to place text and graphics within the safe area to ensure they aren't cut off or positioned too close to the edge, which could result in an undesirable appearance.
