Multi page PDF file
Complete
Please submit two PDF files for each side
  1. Upload Regular full color artwork (Front side file)

  2. Upload the Spot UV template, indicating the area of the SPOT (Front side SPOT UV file)

  3. Upload Regular full color artwork (Back side file)

  4. Upload the Spot UV template, indicating the area of the SPOT (Back side SPOT UV file)

  5. There is no need to supply a file for the "Back Side Spot UV” page if you are ordering a two-sided job with spot UV on only one side.

For the on-the-spot UV template file, indicate the spot UV areas using 100% K. Non-UV areas should be white. For best results, ensure this file is vector.

If you require one side to be completed UV-coated, the corresponding page in your template file should be entirely filled with 100% K.

Spot Uv Info

We do not recommend extending the spot UV design to the edge of the card, as there is a high likelihood that the varnish will peel off. There should be at least a 5mm varnish-free area around the edges. Failing to provide this could result in delays and/or unexpected print results.

Positioning of the spot UV cannot be 100% guaranteed. Please note that there may be a shift of approximately 1/16" in the spot UV position on the printed product. We do not recommend placing spot UV on small text or very small images.

  

  1. Download our guides to ensure optimal print results.
  2. Be sure to DELETE any hidden layers that are not intended to print (e.g., setup guide layers or other hidden artwork layers) to avoid them appearing on the final print.
  3. Each job (including multiple-page projects) must be submitted as a single PDF file. Ensure that all pages are the same size.
  4. 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.
  5. The file must consist of a 1/8″ bleed, and all important art and text must be within the safety margin.
  6. Ensure that your PDF is high-res and that all images are CMYK at 300 DPI.
  7. Black type should have the following values: C0, M0, Y0, K100.
  8. Embed or outline all fonts.
  9. For best color results, supply a CMYK-only file.
