Packaging Artwork Requirements 

Please consider our artwork requirements below when creating graphic art files to ensure the highest print quality and to avoid delay in delivery of goods. 

File forms accepted

We accept vector files in .pdf, .ai, .eps, .cdr format, created as high resolution print quality with bleed. Unfortunately, we do not accept files in .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .gif, etc.

Resolution

To obtain the best possible quality and sharpness for your job, your images and logos need to be supplied in high resolution (resolution is the number of pixels in an image). A minimum of 300 DPI is required.

Colours

PMS colours to be named correctly within the artwork and noted on the hardcopy or PDF proof to allow us to colour match. It’s important to convert all of your images from RGB to CMYK before sending them to us. Please do not supply images as RGB.

Artwork quality 

Bleed and Dieline

  • The artwork is required to have a minimum of 3mm bleed outside of the die line.
  • Bleed: If your document has colour that prints right to the edge of the sheet, you must supply your file with a minimum of 3mm bleed. Bleed is the image area extending outside of the die line. This allows for a small amount of movement that may happen in production. This is a very important step, and if not done the correct way, we may not be able to print your file.
  • Internal Bleed (Safe Area): We require 2-3mm of internal bleed on all files– that means you need to keep all your important information 2-3 mm away from scoring and folding.
