Art work requirements

an image

Art is considered "print ready" when it can be used for pre-press and printing without the need for adjustments.

Adjustments will result in added fees and delays.


Art File
Artwork must be supplied in Vector format. Preferably in Corel Draw Format.

Vector based file formats save the mathematical information required for the program to redraw the image at any size and maintain a high resolution. Colours are also separated, as vector objects, which enable us to change "White" to "Black" in order to create a proper film positive for a white underbase.

If you use a custom font, then you will need to attach the font as well. Please do not convert fonts to curves since this makes it impossible to correct any spelling errors.

CDR files should be saved using specific Pantone solid spot colours. 

Colours
Please specify colours via PMS spot colour designations. Due to hardware and software calibrations, this will allow best colour matching possible.

Imprint Size
It is important the the final art size is only 90% of the imprint location size.
Not only does it look better but it is almost impossible to print from edge to edge is some cases.

We are limited to a maximum imprint size of 85mm x 65mm for two colour prints and 110mm x 55mm for larger one colour imprints.
