Trimlinjen

Trimlinjen is a term used in several Scandinavian languages, literally meaning "the trim line." Because the same compound is applied in different disciplines, there is no single, universally accepted definition of trimlinjen. The meaning is therefore context-dependent and can vary across fields.

In textile and garment production, trimlinjen can refer to the edge or decorative line where trimming is applied, such as a seam, piping, or other finished borders indicated on a pattern. In this sense, the term highlights the visual or structural boundary created by trimming operations during construction or alteration of a garment.

In maritime and naval engineering contexts, trimlinjen may denote a reference line related to a vessel’s trim—the longitudinal tilt of a ship or boat. Here, the term is used in stability assessments and design calculations to describe how the hull sits in the water under load.

In surveying, forestry, or landscape management, trimlinjen can describe a boundary or guideline established during trimming work, such as where vegetation, hedges, or edges are cut back to a defined line.

Because trimlinjen spans multiple domains, precise meaning depends on the source and field. If you can specify the domain or language variant, I can provide a more focused definition and sources tailored to that context.
