How To Set Up Your Files
Custom Shapes
When submitting your artwork for custom shaped labels, prepare colour and design as you would any label file. Moreover, please include the shape dieline as a spot colour called ‘Dieline’. While preparing your dieline, keep note of the following:
Dieline must be its own layer with no other artwork in that layer
Dieline must be a single stroked (not filled) path; not a dashed line or series of lines making an overall shape
White InkIf 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_InkDo not supply separate files for CMYK and White InkIf 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.
BlackInkOnlyIf you select Black Only option on your order, the file you supply should be K only (not CMYK or RGB) with a Dieline.
General File Preparation Guidelines
Download our guides to ensure a more optimal print result.
Be sure to DELETE any hidden layers that are not intended to print (ie: setup guide layers or other hidden artwork layers) to ensure no risk of them appearing on the final print.
Each job (including multiple paged projects) must be submitted as a single PDF file. Ensure that all pages are the same size.
Files must be submitted with proper orientation to ensure proper backup.
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-center.
File must consist of 1/8″ bleed and all important art and text must be within the safety margin.
Ensure that your PDF is high res and that all images are CMYK at 300 DPI.
Black type should have the following values: C0, M0, Y0, K100.
Embed or outline all fonts.
For best colour results, supply a CMYK only files.
