Design Guidance
1.Separate your Artwork from the Dieline.
Your artwork should be on a separate layer than the dieline template layer. Simply place your artwork/designs on the ‘Artwork’ layer, leaving the ‘Dieline’ layer as is. Do not delete the dieline layer as it is needed for showing the box structure and production (these fold lines won’t be printed).
2.Bleed — Safe distance from cut lines
Bleeds account for any slight movement in paper when it’s being printed or cut, and therefore helps minimize the likelihood of having any unprinted edges.
All graphics and text elements at the edges of fold lines need to ‘bleed’ over into the empty space of the dieline.
To make sure there are no unprinted edges in your packaging, please extend a safe distance (at least 3mm) beyond the fold lines or cut lines.
3.Color mode
When you setting up an AI document, go to ‘Document’ — ‘Document Color Mode’ –select ‘CMYK’.
CMYK is a more realistic representation of the colors that will be printed. Do not change the color mode midway. Since CMYK tones are much lighter than RGB tones, changing the format midway may result in the colors appearing in the wrong way.
PMS stands for Pantone Matching System, or simply called Pantone. They are pre-mixed colors and a great way to ensure higher consistency and accuracy when printing. For Pantone or spot colors, please let us know which the Pantone color code(s) you’ll be using.
4.Vector-edited Elements
Vectorize or outline all texts and graphics to ensure we don’t run into issues of missing font files or graphics for production.
Embed all images or photos in the document with at least 300dpi to get a higher resolution.
