Art Requirements
Mac or PC art is acceptable as long as it follows the program
specific requirements.
Adobe Illustrator
Adobe Photoshop
Freehand
QuarkXpress
Pagemaker
Corel Draw
Specs for all types of
electronic art:
- We can accept high resolution pdf files.
- We can accept art via email and CD-Rom.
- Compressed files should be sent in Stuffit or PK Zip.
- Keep all text and art/logos 3/32 from all cuts.
- If art has bleeds, it needs to bleed past the cuts 1/8".
- Lines and imprint need to be at least .5pt thick so it does
not break up of fill in.
POSSIBLE PROBLEMS, SOLUTIONS AND SUGGESTIONS:
- Convert fonts to outlines/paths/curves.
- Corel Draw: save as an .ai file (Adobe Illustrator) with fonts
converted to curves.
- Illustrator: convert fonts to Outlines and save as an .eps
file.
- Freehand: convert fonts to Paths and export as an .eps file.
- We DO NOT accept, Excel, Publisher or Powerpoint
files.
- Vectorized art is a file that we are able to manipulate if it
does not meet our specs. This would consist of trapping, color separating and
resizing if needed.
