Here are some key artwork guidelines for using our templates:
Color Mode: Files must be in CMYK, not RGB, to ensure accurate printing.
Dieline Integrity: Don’t remove or modify the dieline—it’s for design reference only and won’t appear on the final product.
Text Formatting: Convert all fonts and text to vector shapes (outlined) to avoid issues with live text during production.
Image Embedding: Embed all images directly in your dieline file or include links to source files to prevent missing assets.
Transparency: Flatten all transparencies in your design to avoid printing errors.
File Format: Save your design as an editable, layered file in Adobe Illustrator-compatible formats like .AI or layered .PDF.
Following these steps ensures your design is production-ready and meets our quality standards.
