Safe Area:  All essential information on an EcoStiks sticker patch should stay inside the safe area. Generally, the safe area begins 1/8" inside the cut line. 

2

Bleed Line:  Any artwork that goes to the edge of an EcoStiks patch should extend to the Bleed line. This creates a tolerance that ensures the background doesn't get cut off in production. The bleed extends 1/8" out from the Cut Line.

Cut Line:  The Cut Line is the edge of your finished EcoStiks Sticker Patch
