To ensure your files are printed correctly and delivered on time and without any delay, please take the time to ensure you follow these simple steps when creating your press ready PDF.
If you have any questions or are unsure how to complete any steps please call us on 1300 228 624, as we are more than happy to help.
Please understand that as we use a trade only printer, you will be responsible for checking that all files supplied are correct unless you pay for an artwork service. This enables us to efficiently print and deliver your jobs without any unexpected delays. We cannot accept responsibility for errors resulting from incorrectly set up files.
e.g. Standard 2 Sided Business Card
Please note: Gloss and Matt Cello on 1 side will always be applied to Page 1 of your PDF document.
Multiple Version Orders eg. Different Names
All card variations require separate a PDF for each version (not supplied all in one PDF or ganged on one page).
When supplying final artwork which requires Foiling and or Embossing, artwork for the Foiling and or Embossing must be supplied as an extra PDF file which contains all the Foiling or Embossing elements set as solid black.
Please note: If combining both Foiling and Embossing on the one order, we require one PDF for the Foiling artwork, and a second PDF for Embossing artwork.
It is important to make sure that this Foiling and or Embossing exported PDF file is identical in all respects to (size, orientation, crop, position of images and text etc.) to your original CMYK artwork.
Please note: The reverse mirrors the front so check that your Emboss is placed in the correct location (flipped) on the reverse. Ensure your artwork is centred on each page so Emboss line up exactly when flipped.
This is especially important with packaging and presentation folders, as elements such as gussets to allow for inserted material, closure folds and tabs also require careful and accurate engineering to serve their purpose.
Please note: The reverse mirrors the front so check that your Diecut is placed in the correct location (flipped) on the reverse. Ensure your artwork is centred on each page so Diecut line up exactly when flipped.
Please note: The reverse mirrors the front so check that your perforations are in the correct location (flipped) on the reverse. Ensure your artwork is centred on each page so perforations line up exactly when flipped.
40C 40M 40Y 100K for CMYK Rich Black. Please try to avoid using Rich Black on small / thin / or reversed out type and Key lines.
