Page measurements for printing purposes

[Blechkopp]

How do I prepare a document if I need a line of text to be positioned at the top of the page without running the danger of having it cut off. The final page will be DIN A 4 which is 297by210 mm. (The printer needs the docs to be 303by216 mm, he will cut the pages).

The yellow line marks the safety area which as far as I understand should not be occupied. But there must be a way to position the text at the very top. Any suggestions? Is there a way to fiddle with the textbox and monitor in real time what is going on?

Set margins or Ruler Guides at the safety area, then enable the appropriate Snapping settings, and snap the text to the top margin/guide.

Here’s the Affinity help page for snapping if you need some help with that:
