Artwork Checklist

We have prepared the following guide to assist you with your electronic file preparation and submission.
If you have a specific problem that is not covered in this guide or have other questions, please feel free to contact us.
Improperly prepared files can cause delays in manufacturing.

Quick Checklist

Document Colours are in CMYK
Files set to finished size
Set the trim allowances/bleed
Set a Safety Margin
Image & Graphic Resolution
Line Weights
File Formats/li>
Embedded Fonts or Paths

Document Colours

Prepare your files using CMYK as the colour mode, not RGB.
Avoid using Registration for black text; instead, set the font colour to 100% Black.
When using special colours (Pantone or HKS), enter the desired values in the colour channel.
If you order a greyscale item, the file needs to be created in greyscale.
We recommend creating grey areas in shades of black to ensure a perfect print result.

Files Set to Finished Size

Create your files in their final trim size.
If possible, your files will be automatically scaled to fit the order format (without bleed).
Please note that scaling a smaller format to a larger one can lead to a decrease in resolution quality.
For example, scaling an A6 flyer to an A4 flyer can affect the quality of your final product. The lack of bleed on the outer edges can likewise lead to white edges around your product.

Safety Margin

Keep all text at least 5 mm away from the edge of the finished size.
Contents in spiral-bound calendars or brochures should be kept at least 20 mm away from the binding edge.
For folders, please leave a safety margin of at least 5 mm from the fold.
Make sure colours, background pictures and layouts extend into the bleed area so as to avoid leaving white lines as a result of cutting.
For artwork without a trim allowance, we may need to modify your artwork to ensure it's 'Print-Ready'.

Image & Graphic Resolution

Pictures, images and graphics: 250 dpi
Greyscales and colour images: 250 dpi
Line artwork (e.g. texts in small font size and drawings): 1.200 dpi
Large Posters and Pull-Up Banners with text: 150 dpi

Line Weights

Lines should be at least 0.125 pt.
Lines that are too thin are automatically increased to a printable weight.
(Exception: lines set to precisely 0 pt. We cannot guarantee that the weight of these lines will be automatically increased.)
Do not use borders to frame the whole page. They can be partially cut, due to the mechanical cutting tolerance and can affect the appearance of the final product.

Embedded Fonts or Paths

Convert fonts to paths or embed them to avoid typeface discrepancies.
Use fonts that don't have any licence restrictions and make sure the font coding in the PDF file is correct.
Make sure there is sufficient contrast between background and font colours.
