Artwork guidance

  • Send vector artwork as a PDF, SVG or EPS file, with all text converted to outlines.
  • For one- and two-colour printing, tell us the colour references you want matched. We will show you how they look on kraft and on white, because the same ink prints darker on brown paper.
  • For full-colour labels, send a PDF at 300 dpi at actual size, with 3 mm bleed on every edge.
  • Keep fine lines at 0.5 pt or thicker and text at 6 pt or larger, especially on corrugated board.
  • Not sure your file is ready? Send what you have. We will check it and tell you what needs to change before you pay anything.

How it works

  1. Enquire. Tell us what you would like printed, the quantity and when you need it.
  2. Quote and proof. We send a fixed quote and a digital proof showing your design on the product, usually within 2 working days.
  3. Approve. You approve the proof and pay a 50% deposit, or confirm the order on your trade account.
  4. Print and deliver. We print, check a sample from the run and dispatch within the lead time above.
