Lets Talk Art
We are a Windows based shop. Labels
composed on Windows or Mac systems are both usable if saved
in the correct format. Label artwork such as logos and
illustrations and all text should be designed and composed
in vector based software. The application we support is
Adobe Illustrator. Files can be saved as native
CS2 ai
files or as EPS files
if created with other vector software such as Coreldraw,
Quark Xpress, Indesign or other vector programs.
Do not use Adobe Photoshop to compose
a complete label or type text. Photoshop is
useful for working on photographic type images which may be
placed into a label but not to compose or complete a label.
If you would like your Photoshop art included in a label we
are designing, save the art as a JPEG file at the highest
quality setting. A resolution of at least 300 dpi is ideal.
Do not submit artwork taken from the web or
clipart. This type of artwork is of very low resolution and
quality and although fine for online viewing, is
unacceptable for press printed works.
Please include all images and
art used in the label you are designing by embedding the
image. If the image is linked then you will need to send the
art file that you are linking to. All text needs to be
converted to outlines/curves before sending. The prevents the
need for us to have all the possible fonts our customers may
use.
A Word on PDF files
The PDF file format is able to hold both kinds of
graphic formats: bitmapped JPEGS (Photoshop) and
vector (Illustrator.) This means that your PDF file may be
acceptable depending on what may have been saved in it.
Please submit the file for review if that is all that is
available and you are not sure.
Our design template is a PDF file containing
a vector template that can be used in Illustrator to compose
your label and is also viewable on most any computer with
Acrobat Reader. Visit our About Graphics page for
more information on graphic formats. |
