Pre-press preparation is crucial for your labels to deliver perfect results. Here are some short and concise steps to consider:

1. Design File:

Work in 300 DPI resolution and CMYK color mode.

Avoid font loss by “outlining” fonts.

2. Cut Margin and Safe Area:

Leave 2-3 mm for the trim margin and 5 mm for the safe area.

3. Printing Techniques:

Determine whether to use spot color or full color (CMYK).

Plan special effects such as foiling and embossing in advance.

4. Material Selection:

Choose a material suitable for the surface and environment where the label will be used.

Make sure the adhesive type is compatible with the surface.

5. Color Proofing:

Check color consistency by taking a color proof before printing.

6. File Format:

Save the design in a format suitable for printing, such as PDF, AI or EPS.

With these steps, your labels will be both aesthetic and functional!
