Art that doesn’t follow these requirements may delay your order & incur additional charges.
Send art in a vector-based program (Freehand or Illustrator) for best results.
| Include all linked images and original parent files. |
Convert fonts to paths or outlines, including fonts in linked images; otherwise, send
all screen fonts & printer fonts. |
For art in a raster-based program:
| Not recommended for spot-color printing (results can appear “fuzzy”). |
| If you must use raster for spot colors, separate each ink color using channels or separate files. |
| 300 dpi minimum at 100% for grayscale, duotone, and CMYK Photoshop files. |
| 600 dpi minimum at 100% for bitmap files. |
| Files for 4 color process printing must be color correct and in CMYK mode. |
| PDF files cannot be used unless accompanied by all supporting files. |
| 8 pt. is the smallest type size for CMYK build. |
| Type smaller than 8 pt. must be separated as a spot color, or enlarged. |
| Reverses smaller than 8 pt. must be enlarged. |
| Note the design software & version used on your purchase order. |
| If file doesn’t show actual ink colors to print, note the correct colors on your order. |
| Provide art at actual size and include crop or corner marks, or a die line, to show position. |
| Artwork must be provided in an editable format. |
| If art prints to the edge of the label, extend art 1/8” beyond the edge (for the bleed). |
| We cannot accept PDFs for CMYK printing unless accompanied by all supporting files (the
compression inherent in making PDFs can reduce the quality of placed images). |
| For spot color printing, we can usually work with PDFs. |
| Files with placed raster images must be accompanied by the supporting files. |
| Make sure the PDF is not password-protected. |
