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.
