Beacon Band

What happens when your data replaces the sample

What Beacon Band does when the data is longer, shorter or emptier than the sample:

Fixed page furnitureNever grows, never moves

indigo band across the page top (fixed height — nothing inside it may grow); coral press strip at the page foot

Repeats per recordOne block per row of your data

fact-strip cells; milestone stops; product cards; leadership entries; coverage rows; colour swatches

Grows with your dataAbsorbs long values without breaking

boilerplate paragraphs; product one-liners; leadership descriptions; coverage headlines; usage rules

Pinned to every pageHolds position across page breaks

indigo band at the top of every page; coral press strip at the bottom of every page

Order on the pageWhat sits after what

fact strip after the band; boilerplate after the fact strip; milestones after the boilerplate; product line after the milestones; leadership and coverage after the product line; logo and colour rules last

Page breaksWhat may split, what must not

coverage rows, milestone stops and the swatch row may split across pages; a single product card and a single leadership entry must not

Last pageHow the document ends

logo and colour rules may occupy the final page alone; the band and press strip carry it
