Artwork

The basic requirements for artwork are pretty much the same regardless of our product. We require a minimum bleed of 3mm for any part of the artwork that extends to and beyond the edge of the item. Any image or text that does not extend beyond the edge of the item must be no closer to the edge than 3mm. Any raster images must be a minimum of 300dpi and ideally, artwork should be CMYK as that is how we print. Any spot or RGB colours will be converted to CMYK and will not print as you expect them to.

If you're adding variable data to the job as well, make sure you go through the technical documentation for data. By factoring data into the artwork from the beginning, many problems and issues can be avoided right from the start.

Specification Sheets

We have available a detailed specification manual for download. This contains both artwork and data requirements in one file.

Even if you are just producing artwork for us, we still highly recommend the entire artwork and data document as it provides an overall view of the production process that will assist with the artwork design process.
