Preparing Your Files for Printing This section helps you prepare art files for printing. You will be able to upload your artwork before paying for your order. 4-color process (CMYK) Labels are printed as four-color process (CMYK); therefore, files need to be designed as four-color process (CMYK). RGB files and Pantone colors will be converted to CMYK. Please note, converted RGB files and Pantone colors will vary slightly in color. If you would like to ensure color, you may request a press proof at additional cost. File Formats We accept Illustrator, PhotoShop, InDesign, and Acrobat files. We accept files with the following extensions: .eps, .ai, .indd, .psd, .jpg, .tiff, .bmp, and .pdf. Microsoft Office documents including Word and PowerPoint are not acceptable. Microsoft Publisher files are also unacceptable. All other formats may not be readable. Barcodes Barcodes need to scan accurately in order to print accurately. Please generate barcodes with 100% black ink. There may be no printing underneath the barcode. Also, barcodes must have ¼” margin on all sides. No printing may fall into the margin. Resolution The minimum resolution is 300 dpi at 100% for artwork submissions. Files that are downloaded from the web may not work, as they are usually 72 dpi. Bleed Files must be printed with bleed. Art must have at least 1/8” bleed on all sides. Artwork that does not have bleed may need to be adjusted. Fonts Files need to be submitted with fonts embedded or converted to outlines. The minimum acceptable font size is 6 points. When designing with small print, avoid using fonts with thin strokes, as they do not print as well as fonts with consistent line thickness. Die lines Our cutting system provides a tool-free method for cutting any shape imaginable! On a separate layer of your artwork, please provide your desired die line. If a die line is not provided, we will provide a rectangular die line with .125″ rounded corners for you. Design Help We are happy to answer questions about preparing your files for printing.
