Type: Enum

ISO 19593-1 production / finishing operation kind

Values ​

ValueDescriptionDeprecated
BLEEDThe declared bleed region — artwork extending past the cut so no white edge shows after trimming.
CREASEA pressed line that lets the substrate fold cleanly without cracking. Covers both the front and reverse variants.
CUSTOMA processing step whose group or type is not one ISO 19593-1 defines. The raw group and type strings are preserved on the operation so the original intent is not lost.
CUTA through cut that separates the substrate — the ISO 19593-1 Cutting step.
DIMENSIONDimension annotations on the artwork. Documentation for the operator, not something the press or finishing line produces.
DRILLA round drilled hole, typically for ring binding.
FOLDA fold line, marking where the substrate is folded rather than where it is creased.
GLUEAn area where adhesive is applied when the item is assembled.
LEGENDJob legend and marks — colour bars, registration marks, slugs — which sit off the finished product.
PARTIAL_CUTA cut that does not go through the full thickness, such as a kiss cut through a face stock but not its liner. Covers both the front and reverse variants.
PERFORATEA line of small cuts leaving the substrate joined but tearable by hand.
POSITIONPositional markers on the artwork, again documentation rather than a produced feature.
PUNCHA shaped hole made with a punch tool.
REVERSE_CUTA cut made from the reverse of the sheet, for artwork that is viewed through the substrate.
UNKNOWNThe engine reported an operation kind this build does not recognise, typically from a newer engine version.
VARNISHA coating applied over the printed surface, whether flood or spot.
WHITE_UNDERPRINTA white ink layer laid under the artwork, so colours stay opaque on clear or metallic substrates.
