Universal Technical Layer Naming

Organize vector assets into non-printing spot color layers: Dieline_Cut (100% M), Dieline_Crease (100% C), and Spot_UV (100% K).

Overprint Spot Color Configuration

Setting die lines to overprint ensures blade geometry renders visibly atop full-bleed background artwork.
