Label Artwork Guidelines
Accepted Programs/ Files File Formats
Our preferred file type is Adobe Illustrator (AI, EPS, PDF) - Version 26.0.3 or earlier. AI file is most preferred. We also accept Adobe Photoshop (PSD) - Version 23.2.2 or earlier.
Quality
All files must be 300 dpi in CMYK color at 100% scale. Files saved in RGB are for digital content only and must be converted to CMYK for printing. Please embed any linked images or include the actual files so they can link properly.
Font Information
Convert text to paths, curves or outlines (text that becomes an object and can no longer be edited as text), or send the actual font files that we can load and use. If possible, please refrain from setting text in Photoshop.
White Print/Varnish/Deadened Adhesive
If the job requires White underprint, Spot Varnish, or Deadened Adhesive then the file needs to be setup accordingly. The file should clearly show where White, Varnish, or Deadened Adhesive needs to be. We can Supply a template to assist in setting up White print properly.
Proofread
Please proofread your artwork for misspelling and design before submitting your file to us.
