These Guidelines set out best practice to reduce the cost of your boards and to minimize the risk of errors arising during manufacture. Not all possible PCB design features are available on our lower-cost pooling services (PCB proto, Verified and A la carte), so we have indicated throughout which guidelines apply to the pooling services and which to the On demand service. There is no general consensus throughout the global PCB industry on terminology, so if we feel any term we use may be unclear we have tried to explain it when it first appears.
