A Guide For Designing Your Own Artwork – Top 5 Tips
1. Take advantage of a template
We offer free, editable, size specific templates for our products on our online Design Wizard – the perfect place for you to start to ensure all your design dimensions are accurate!
2. Set your software
If you’re using your own design software, make sure you set it to CMYK not RBG, otherwise printing results may be different than those you’d expect.
3. Mark the edges of your design
It’s always helpful to outline the edges of your design in a bright colour, like magenta. This will help printers to keep the cuts accurate. Similarly, we’d recommend leaving a 3-4mm bleed area at the edge of your designs – just to make absolutely sure that no important features of your design will be lost in production.
4. Make sure your resolution is high
Ideally you want to make sure any images, logos or photographs included on your design are high resolution, to avoid pixelated imagery when printing. Set your software to 300dpi to ensure crystal clear images.
5. Save in the correct format
Save your creation in a non-editable PDF, to ensure that none of your elements reset to default, or are accidentally edited. It’s also useful to embed any fonts that you may have used, to make sure that your text is printed exactly as you designed it.
