Graph <strong>Design</strong> Software Programs<br />

Our graphic art department is PC and Mac based, predominantly using Coreldraw 15 and<br />

Adobe Illustrator CS5. Higher quality results are obtained using these programs, giving<br />

better colour separation accuracy. We do not except Quark files, however if this is all you<br />

work with please convert text to outlines and save as both a PDF and an EPS file and send<br />

us both. Please note that Gif or Jpeg files are often not suitable for printing due to<br />

compression factors. Any files received in Word, Excel, Publisher etc may only be used for<br />

simple designs or text and will most likely be redrawn to satisfy our pre-press stage.<br />

Large Files?<br />

Any files that cannot be e-mailed, may be sent to us via mail on a CD otherwise we do<br />

provide a FTP site to accommodate those files which are too large to e-mail (see contact<br />

page - send artwork) or go to the "Upload Artwok" section at the bottom of our home<br />

page<br />

Handy Hints<br />

When designing artwork for label printing please use vector based programs only (Corel<br />

& Illustrator CS) - doing this will allow for better printing results i.e. Sharpness,<br />

Separations and speedy proofing.<br />

Please convert all text to outlines/curves.<br />

Photographic or full colour designs should be embedded into the art file.<br />

When designing for Flexographic labels please do not create any artwork that has a dot<br />

size any smaller than 3% to accommodate our plate making process.<br />

Any artwork supplied for Flexographic will be imported into Adobe Illustrator for trapping<br />

before plates are made.<br />

<strong>Graphic</strong> <strong>Design</strong> <strong>Services</strong><br />

When designing for Foiled labels please do not create any artwork that has screen work,<br />

fine curves or a font size any smaller than 5 Point - close registration of borders or text are<br />

not suited to this printing process either.<br />

If artwork has bleed (the cut die line touches the printed image), allow a 2mm overprint<br />

to ensure a clean edge of finished print.<br />

Please remember to convert all fonts to curves to ensure your font does not change - in<br />

case we do not have your font on file. Failure to do this will increase mistakes and slow<br />

down the approval process.<br />

Proofing<br />

If you have had your job printed previously by another supplier, please supply a colour<br />

printed sample as this will help ensure we provide you with the label you are expecting.<br />

Labels can be printed in many different ways any samples previously printed would be<br />

greatly appreciated, this also helps with colour matching.<br />

The Sticker Company will always send a coloured PDF proof via e-mail or a faxed mono<br />

proof if preferred, before we print your order - any concerns or queries?<br />

In some instances we can print you a press sample.<br />

Please contact our art department by e-mail on artroom@stickerco.com.au for any<br />

concerns or questions<br />
