If you have to prepare pre-press files for outreach printing (say China) they may well ask you to include slug - its in Indesign settings / Adobe support. | |

The blue shows the safe area, but the area that is actually safe is the white area (does that make sense?). The margin would be up to where your content is (i.e. Where the text and bar legend is). I'll add a clearer example once I'm back at a computer. | |
| Nov 20, 2016 at 18:51 | comment | added | candied_orange | Are you saying that Margin is the 'blue' area pictured here? The graphic has misleading color coding. At first it looks like it's saying the blue is the safe zone but then the text says the white is the safe area. | |
