Code 0020: Text is outside margin

What is the problem?

When a design is commercially printed, it’s cropped down to size. To prevent important content from being trimmed off, all Launch Lab templates include a margin line (also called a safe zone) inside the dieline.

This line marks the area where text and key artwork should be safely positioned. Anything placed inside the margin is guaranteed to remain visible after trimming.

If you’re seeing this error, it means some text in your artwork sits on or outside the margin line, and may be at risk of being cropped off during production.

How do I fix it?

The fix is straightforward, but it may take time depending on the length of your document:

Go through each page and locate any text that sits on or outside the margin line, then move it inside the safe zone.

Where possible, avoid placing text too close to the edge. Giving your content room to breathe not only helps avoid print issues but also results in a cleaner, more readable design—which is better for your players, too.
