We prefer artwork to be supplied as a Portable Document Format (PDF). PDF files should be saved – High Resolution with 3mm bleed and crop marks.

Fonts:    Ideally all fonts should be converted to paths. 

Embedding Fonts: Avoids the risk of font licensing breach. It also ensures the final print job turns out as expected. If changes are required the fonts should be supplied. 

Images: Resolution should be at least 300dpi and in CMYK format.

No. We specialise in short run labelling and regularly print any quantity of quality labels required by our valued clients. We meet your needs!

Bleed is the image area just outside your finished page size. It is needed to ensure your job looks its best. Images, background colours and other fills which are intended to print to the trimmed edge of the design should be extended 3mm beyond the edge to give a “bleed”. Without this you may end up with a variable white border. 

There are a few label attributes required to enable us to quote for your labels:

  • Label size
  • Quantity
  • Number of colours
  • Material (for example: outdoor or indoor use)
  • Any special requirements (number of sets, annual volumes etc.)

The cost of each label is calculated individually based on the following criteria:

  • Label size
  • Quantity
  • Number of colours
  • Material (for example: outdoor or indoor use)
  • Special requirements (number of sets, annual volumes etc.)

Yes, we manufacture labels for outdoor use; lamination film can also be applied as a protective layer to certain products.

This stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black – the four colours used to achieve Colour Process Printing. This is also known as “Full Colour Printing”, and is a widely used printing technique.

By using combinations of these colours in various tints, it is possible to produce virtually every colour imaginable!
