Answer

The designation of the pockets is based on the flat images so when choosing pockets be mindful of this, please see below image. IMPORTANT: Please follow this rule when choosing slits, keep any design, text or logos out of the slit areas. The pocket side you want the slits on should follow the orientation rule above.
