Artwork Specifications
Providing
us with correct artwork specifications for our
all-digital printing shop, will save you time and money for your
labels. Keep in mind, it always makes a wise sense to check your
designs for low resolutions or other faults in the designs and spellings before sending them to us
in accordance with the artwork specifications.
Corrections or
modifications made after the proofing stage will add to extra
charges, as we require to redo the entire pre-press process with
your corrected new files.
PC versions of formats supported: For the fonts, we recommend
that all text be converted to curves/outlines by the originating
program.
-
Adobe Photoshop
-
Adobe Illustrator
(convert to
outlines)
-
Corel Draw
(convert to
curves)
The most convenient way to
send us files is via email to
info@multicolorlabels.com
. In case your outbound email server may have
smaller limits or if you're sending many files and/or email proves
to be unreliable, you can also upload files to our secure FTP site –
please contact us for details. If none
of these options are workable for you, please burn a CD-ROM and send
it to us.

Full Bleeds
and layout requirements:
A full bleed is when the color extends to the edges of the label. If
your label design or background color is intended to cover the
entire surface of the label, please note that we need a 1/16"
(0.0625") bleed around each edge of the label. For example, if you
have a 3” x 2” label where the color bleeds the label edges, you
should size your design to 3.125" x 2.125" as this will allow a
1/16” bleed around the entire label. All bleeds need to extend
1/16'' outside the die cut area.
Other Considerations:
To
ensure high quality digital printing results, your images and
designs should be saved to 300 dpi at 100% of the dimensions
at which they will print. Adjusting your document page size to the
final label size is required.
Our presses handle standard CMYK mode.
Our advice is
to avoid borders for symmetric view of labels and if you really want
a border, is to make it a thicker one - more than 4 point that is
borders should be more than 1/8'' in thickness. That way
a fractional move during digital printing will be much less
noticeable.
Always spend extra
time and look for spell checks and number
corrections in your text before sending in your artwork to us.
This way you can save yourself disappointment
and extra expense on your part after printing of your digital labels
is done.
If your
artwork is of a different size than the requested label, please
include detailed instructions with your order.
Be sure to save
your original designs with you before sending in the artwork
specifications to us for your custom labels and
stickers.
