Designing the perfect custom packaging is similar to following an instruction manual. Our artwork guidelines help make the design process smooth and seamless by providing a handy list of recommendations.
We also offer free in-house design support to all of our customers. We can provide you with additional support or expertise if necessary. Please read our instructions carefully for accurate rendering and printing of your artwork files.
It is best to create artwork using CMYK colors (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black) or Pantone spot colors, depending on your printing type. A digital display uses RGB (Red, Green, Blue) color mode, so it is necessary to convert to the correct color mode so that the color reproduction is accurate.
When you find it difficult to read a font on your computer screen, zooming in may help. Regarding printed words, you are unable to change the size later. When printing, it’s essential to use a font larger than 9pt so it’s easy to read. If you are using an intricate or fancy font, such as cursive, remember to keep in mind that on paper, they may appear less sharp and clear than on a screen. To ensure the text on the packaging is straightforward and easy to read, choose legible fonts.
The dielines of your layout must be precise to achieve your ideal layout. Always keep all knives and scores at least 1/8″ from your art and graphics, and extend the background of your design to the bleeding lines.
