Cutting Around Objects
While objects may not be both print and cut out objects at the same time, there is a way to cut around some print objects.

You can apply cut bounding boxes to all types of print objects: text, graphics, HotShapes, and even bar codes.
Hint! You can also apply cut bounding boxes to cut out objects, to make it easier to strip the waste material from around the cut out object.
