A look into our creative process...

 

When you send your art file, it goes through several steps before it actually becomes a tag or label.

If art is sent "camera ready", we make sure the dimensions are correct and that we can separate the colors for the individual flexographic plates. If it is a 4 color process tif, we check the resolution to be sure it is at least 300 ppi. We prefer it to be 600 or more. That makes much better plates that, in turn, make a much better product for you.

If we have to assemble "parts" you send, then it takes a little more time. We create a document to the die size and place all the elements, again checking for correct color usage, typographical errors and overall appearance.

When you receive your proof, you should always double check the spelling and information on the art and confirm that the colors and substrate are correct. When you send hand drawn art or request custom art from an idea, we will create professional looking files for you to proof. You always have the opportunity to make changes and suggestions before we go to press.
