Supplying your own artwork?

Please ensure it meets the following specifications:

Size & fonts
  • Artwork must be supplied at 100% with all fonts converted to paths. Alternatively, provide fonts.
  • We prefer artwork to be provided in a vector format – Ai, PDF etc.
  • Any bitmap or raster images must be supplied at no less than 300dpi
Keyline & bleed
  • Artwork must have corner ticks or a key line showing the dimensions and/or shape of the label.
  • Include bleed of 1.5mm beyond the extent of the corner ticks or key line.
Colours
  • If there is not a requirement for a CMYK image, then generally we prefer to print in PMS colours – convert files to PMS.
    With CMYK artwork we recommend where possible that tints do not drop below 3% to eliminate any possibility of a cut-off line where the tint ends.
Acceptable formats
  • Preferably Packaged Art Files, Ai, or PDF.
  • Alternatively: we can sometimes work with TIF, PSD, JPG, BMP, DWG, PNG files, but additional prepress work may be needed at our end to give you a good quality print result, and art fees would be chargeable.
Programs
  • We are PC and Mac-based and primarily use In-Design, Illustrator, and Photoshop as well as Esko DFE packages.
