How to indicate a cut out for a product window












1















I just started learning package design. I have finished my artwork and want to send the final file to the customer.



The design has a product window. How should I indicate this layer in Illustrator? How do I tell the printer they have to cut this shape out?

          • Use a separate layer for the cut-out (window) artwork.

          • Apply a distinct color swatch to the outline of this window shape and make it a spot color.

          • Select this shape and set it to 'Overprint Stroke' in the 'Attributes' panel.

            Magenta is what we always used, because I can't recall a single print job in 10 years which used magenta as an actual color in the job. The layer was also called something like WINDOW DO NOT PRINT.

          How to label and detect the document text images

          Image
          1 $begingroup$ This is what I mean as document text image: I want to label the texts in image as separate blocks and my model should detect these labels as classes. NOTE: This is how the end result should be like: The labels like Block 1, Block 2, Block 3,.. should be Logo, Title, Date,.. Others, etc. Work done: First approach : I tried to implement this method via Object Detection, it didn't work. It didn't even detect any text. Second approach : Then I tried it using PixelLink. As this model is build for scene text detection, it detected each and every text in the image. But this method can detect multiple lines of text if the threshold values are increased. But I have no idea how do I add labels to the text blocks. PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones = 'PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones' PIXEL_C...
