4.8 ExcellentArtwork Guidelines
Colour Format
Please supply files in CMYK and not RGB. If your artwork is a one colour special and it is an important colour, then please advise us of the Pantone colour reference or CMYK break down.
Text and Fonts
If the artwork includes text in a specific font, please provide the font in MAC format. Alternatively, please convert or rasterise the text into a vector format.
Resolution
A minimum of 300dpi scaled at 100% is required for high quality images. Vectorised artwork/text will achieve better quality than flattened rasterised objects.
Artwork File Formats
Our preferred file format is HI RES PDF, but we can accept all of the following – JPG/JPEG, EPS, AI, TIF/TIFF, IDD and AP.

Margins
A minimum of 1.5mm full bleed is required on all aspects of the design that meet the edge of the label. For any part of the design that does not, ensure there is at least 1.5mm safe margin to the trim.

How will you know if your artwork is suitable?
If your artwork is suitable, we will email you a final proof for you to approve before we send your job to production.
If you are unsure with the standard of your artwork, please send it through via email or via the upload form on the order page. If it’s good to go, we will respond with a final PDF proof for your approval.
If assistance is required, then our studio may be able to assist. If so, we will report back and quote on the work they need to do. Alternatively for projects that need a complete design service, we would be happy to recommend some great design companies.
Our digital presses, along with the tools used in our studio, are the most advanced in the printing industry. It is highly important that artwork used for production is of the best possible standard to ensure a high quality result. We are here to help.
