DESIGN AND EXPORT
1. Open the matching orientation and FRONT or BACK file. Keep the full working
   page WITH BLEED. Do not crop to the PDF TrimBox when opening.
2. Select YOUR ARTWORK, the empty and unlocked layer, and add your design.
   Extend backgrounds and images fully to the bleed edge. Keep important
   text, logos, QR codes, phone numbers and critical content inside the
   Varaprint recommended safe area. Use matching orientation for both sides.
   FRONT and BACK are separate files with identical flat geometry.
3. Hide/remove the entire VARAPRINT TEMPLATE — DO NOT PRINT
   layer before export, including its logo, dimensions, labels, instructions,
   artwork prompts, guide lines and footer.
4. Export the complete page at 100%. Do not resize, crop to trim, add bleed
   again, add printer marks, scale to fit or export selection/drawing bounds.
   Keep the listed PDF TrimBox when supported. Check dimensions and layer
   removal in the final exported artwork.

NATIVE CMYK AI - AUTHORITATIVE ILLUSTRATOR WORKING FILE
Created directly in CMYK document mode and saved by Adobe Illustrator.
Exactly two native layers:
  VARAPRINT TEMPLATE — DO NOT PRINT - locked, visible, nonprinting
    One native template Symbol contains the vector guides and instructions.
  YOUR ARTWORK - empty, unlocked, printable
Click YOUR ARTWORK to begin. Illustrator may reactivate the top layer on
reopening; this application behavior does not change the editable structure.
The official logo is embedded vector artwork. Large Anton dimensions are
outlined paths, so no display-font installation is required. Body text uses
Arial/Helvetica. No linked artwork or rasterized template graphics.

COLOR
AI and dedicated PDF template paints are CMYK. The logo uses the approved
Varaprint CMYK conversion. Guide colors are navigation aids, not production
color specifications. No press ICC profile or OutputIntent is embedded or
prescribed. Screen appearance depends on the application display settings.

DEDICATED CMYK PDF
Separately exported from the native CMYK document with Illustrator editing
capabilities retained. This is not the AI compatibility representation.
MediaBox, CropBox and BleedBox equal the working page. An incremental
postflight sets only TrimBox, inset 4.5 pt on each edge; all exported artwork
and native editing streams are preserved. The working PDF displays the
template layer. Its DO NOT PRINT name alone does not prevent printing;
explicitly hide/remove the entire template layer before final output.
The native AI has the actual nonprinting template-layer flag. PDF layer
behavior varies across editors; use AI for the native Illustrator workflow.

SVG COMPATIBILITY FILE
Full-size canvas with named template and YOUR ARTWORK groups. The template
contains SIZE + BRANDING, GUIDES and INSTRUCTIONS. SVG is RGB-oriented;
use AI for the authoritative CMYK workflow. Group-lock and font handling
depend on the editor. Hide/remove the entire template group before export.
No portable SVG nonprinting flag is assumed. These are standard flat rectangle/square templates without specialty finish masks.
