Creating a cut line graphic using Coral Draw
Create The Label
The following steps show the best procedure used to
produce cut data with OPOS reg marks for your label
artwork.
The first step is to create a document for your label
artwork to be placed on to. The maximum label size
you can cut is 205mm x 307.8mm, this is 12” (304.8)
plus 3mm for the gap to the next label in height.
If you are using smaller labels then this, to be efficient
it is best to fill the area with as many of your chosen
size labels as possible. Bare in mind the orientation of
the label whether it’s narrow or wide edge leading.
In the figure below the label is a grey rectangle with
black text and is narrow edge leading. It has be made
with a 1mm bleed with a cut line in magenta measuring
100x150mm.

Position The Labels
Once you’re happy with the label artwork and cut line
it can be copied to make a matrix of labels for maximum use of
your media. (see left) Remember that it is the space between the
cut line data that makes the label pitch and not the space between
the over bleed artwork.
The document height will need to be made to the sum of
a vertical row of your labels, in this example the label height is
150mm, the label pitch is 3mm =153mm and because there are
two labels we need to times it by two making 306mm in total. So
it is: label pitch x number of labels = document page
size
.
Your labels will now need to be positioned no less then
8mm from the right hand edge of the document, this area of 8mm
needs to be left clear of all cut and print data for the printed reg-
istration mark, (failure to keep this clear will cause misalignment
of the cut / print data). The labels also need to be positioned
with an equal space top and bottom, in our example it is 1.5mm
from the cut line (half the label pitch) and 0.5mm from the 1mm
print bleed.
