Key points:

• Use the 6″ x 24″ template for sticker prints (testing & proofing).
• Double-sided cuts only work on matte paper.
• A ‘crease’ involves compressing fibers along a line to create a visible fold without cutting through, preventing cracks on heavier materials. Note: For heavier paper stocks like cardstock or thick matte paper, using a crease is recommended.
• A ‘score’ is a shallow indentation or groove along the fold line that weakens the material for a cleaner bend. Because it exposes the fibers, scoring is not recommended for standard paper—this can create a line of missing color if the area is printed. However, scoring is ideal for cardstock to achieve sharp creases. Note: When scoring cardstock, you’re stretching its fibers, so you should fold away from the score line. In other words, the raised side of the score goes on the inside, and the indentation remains on the outside.
• A ‘cut’ represents a complete separation of the material, slicing fully through it. Note: Always check your final design to ensure that cut lines align correctly with the desired shape and do not overlap non-cut layers.
