Label Artwork File Guidelines

PDF (Portable Document Format)

This is the preferred method of submission.

Considerations

General

  • Remove/turn off security options for PDFs

Artwork

  • Outline all fonts
    between what you see on your screens and what we output to press.
  • Double check that all images are embedded into your document.
  • Please ensure al rasterized artwork(images, effects, copy, etc.) is created and saved at or above 300 dpi. Vector art is preferred over Raster Images
  • Type should be no smaller than 5 pt.
  • Thin, small fonts with over 3 colors may fill in slightly or appear “fuzzy”.
  • Line weights of .5 pt or more assure optimum print results.
  • We cannot guarantee the integrity of supplied drop shadows.
  • It is preferred that barcodes/QR codes are vector/editable.
  • CMYK documents preferred over RGB. Converting RGB documents to CMYK may cause an unexpected difference in color.

Layout

  • Bleeds should extend .0625” past trim line.
  • Any other artwork should be .0625” away from trim line.
