    My local print shop was helping me with a wine label a couple of years ago, and they told me to include a hairline 1mm grid as a background image on the proof sheet to make it easier to measure the actual type size on the proof sheet. The woman at the print shop said that many US and European government agencies now require type on alcoholic beverage labels to be a minimum size (depending on the size of the wine bottle) so this 1mm grid makes it easier to make sure that the type size on the alcoholic beverage label complies with government regulations.

    If this 1mm hairline grid helps anyone else, please feel free to steal the idea.
