Mark where the material will be folded. These lines are often dashed or dotted, guiding where the cardboard or paper will be bent to form the box.
Perforation Lines
These are dotted lines that define where small holes are punched into the material. Perforation lines allow for easy tearing, which is often used for coupons, product access points, or removable parts.

Safety Margin
