<title>UK TeX FAQ -- question label crop</title>
</head><body>
<h3>How to create crop marks</h3>
<p/>If you&rsquo;re printing something that&rsquo;s eventually to be reproduced in
significant quantities, and bound, it&rsquo;s conventional to print on paper
larger than your target product, and to place &ldquo;crop marks&rdquo; outside
the printed area.  These crop marks are available to the production
house, for lining up reproduction and trimming machines.
<p/>You can save yourself the (considerable) trouble of programming these
marks for yourself by using the package <i>crop</i>, which has
facilities to satisfy any conceivable production house.  Users of the
<i>memoir</i> class don&rsquo;t need the package, since <i>memoir</i> has
its own facilities for programming crop marks.
