Video transcript

  1. 0:00Ask three printers for a standard tag: you get three different tags.
  2. 0:05Punches hit price lines and tags spin blank-side out. Size is six measurements: trim, bleed, safe margin, hole zone, live area, flat or folded.
  3. 0:16List the copy first; live area decides fit. The barcode drives most size upgrades: shrink it only with the retailer's OK. Overflow moves to a maintained QR page.
  4. 0:28Set the hole in numbers, fastener first. Too large, it slips; too near the edge, it tears. Top centre hangs upright; a corner hangs angled.
  5. 0:39Formats: mini, square, standard, strip, folded, die-cut. Folded tags need flat size, folded size and fold edge; die-cuts are quoted by bounding box.
  6. 0:50Hang a full-scale mock-up, then send every supplier one dimension block.
  7. 0:55Send it to us; we confirm formats, quantities and timing.
