Shape

• The red line is the bleed line. Artwork must extend to this line. The area in between this line and the safe area line must only be used as a quiet area.
• The purple line is the cut line. Perimeter of the cut graphic area, before any finishing. The area in between this line and the finished line will be used for hems and attaching the sleeve.
• The blue line is the finished line. This is the perimeter of the visible graphic area, after the graphic has been finished.
• The green line is the safe area line. Important content (text, logos etc.) must be kept within this line.
• The grey line is the flag sleeve. This shows the location of the elasticated flag sleeve, when finished and attached.
