Before sending art files, please review our Checklist:
- Provide files in their native format (Quark, Illustrator,
Freehand, etc.).
- Provide all graphic links and all fonts.
- If images touch the edge of the label, please “bleed”
or extend these images at least 1/16 of an inch beyond the
edge.
- RGB images should be converted to 4 color process (CMYK).
- Avoid typesetting in Photoshop. The only exception should
artistic looking elements that can only be done in Photoshop.
For all other typesetting such as nutrition facts, ingredients,
etc., use an application such as Illustrator or Quark.
- Avoid Microsoft programs such as Word or Publisher when
creating your artwork.
- DO NOT set traps. This will often give a false impression
of the art will look like since most office printers are
incapable of printing the artwork with the traps shown.
- Provide a color hardcopy (printout) of your artwork for
West Coast to compare and quote.
- If e-mailing, please gather all necessary elements into
one folder and compress that folder (using compression software
such as winzip or Stuffit).
