-
1. Add 3 mm of bleed
During the production of paper products, cutting imperfections are to be expected - cutting can be off by a couple of millimetres from the cutting line. To allow leeway for such imperfections, you should add 3 mm of bleed on all edges of your artwork. Make sure all colours, background pictures, and elements extend to the edge of the bleed area, to avoid the appearance of white borders on certain edges after cutting. Learn more how to set up the bleed here.

2. Use CMYK colour mode
-
3. Use an image resolution of at least 300 DPI
-
4. Use the right values for grey elements
When setting up grey elements, set K to a percentage between 0 and 100, and keep all other colours (C, M, and Y) equal to 0%.
-
5. Pure black colour should be set
When setting up black text, thin lines and small elements, use pure black (i.e. C = 0, M = 0, Y = 0, K = 100). Text, thin lines, and small elements in pure black colour should be set to overprint to avoid white gaps around the text.
For larger elements, use a composite form of black (we recommend C = 30, M = 0, Y = 0, K = 100).
-
6. Use maximum 2 colours for lines that are finer than 2 pt
-
7. Convert all fonts to outlines, or embed them in your file
To avoid issues with fonts when submitting your file(s), make sure to convert fonts to outlines, or to embed all fonts when saving to PDF.
-
8. Save and upload your artwork files as PDF/X-1a
-
9. Check for overprint
Make sure that no elements are set on overprint, unless you need them to be.
