Design Tips
Files must be submitted with proper orientation to ensure proper back up. It is best to try to avoid using borders in your design. If a border is too close to the trim, the trim may be slightly off-centre.
Ensure that your PDF is high res and that all images are CMYK at 300 DPI.
All type must be outlined (not embedded). No linked images.
If file contains a dieline, it must be a separate spot colour called Dieline and be on its own layer. The dieline shape must be a single path stroked.
Please provide vector only artwork for type, logos, shapes and all other artwork. Only provide embedded raster artwork for actual 4/C images. Black type should have the following values: CO, MO, YO, K100.
The trim size of the Illustrator file must match the final trim size of the label. Use bleed settings in Illustrator of 0.0625 inches minimum each way.
If you select a White Ink option with your order, please supply a single file that includes CMYK (if necessary) and a spot colour called exactly White Ink. Do not supply separate files for
CMYK and White Ink. If you want white ink to print under a blue colour, you need to set either the blue shape or the White Ink shape to overprint to achieve this. You may also want to set a White Ink shape to knockout so nothing prints on top of it. Remember to set overprints on any Dieline.
File should be CMYK only (no RGB) with a Dieline and/or White Ink spot colour depending on your order specifications.
If you select Black Only option on your order, the file you supply should be K only (not CMYK or RGB) with a Dieline and/or White Ink spot colours depending on your order specifications.
