Artwork Creation Rules
Always provide a composite and a colour split version of the artwork on the same page - see diagram below. For screenprinted and hot foil labels, the best results will be achieved using linework.
Scanned text reproduces poorly – it is always better to type it directly into the artwork.
If you wish to use tints of a colour or photographic images, please contact us for advice on the printing process most suitable and how to produce your artwork.
Close Registration
Close registration of colours can sometimes be a problem. We will advise you on receipt of your artwork if this is an issue with your design.
