Envelopes (Self-Adhesive)

General File Preparation Guidelines

1. Download our guides to ensure a more optimal print result.
2. Be sure to DELETE any hidden layers that are not intended to print (ie: setup guide layers or other hidden artwork layers) to ensure no risk of them appearing on the final print.
3. Each job (including multiple paged projects) must be submitted as a single PDF file. Ensure that all pages are the same size.
4. Files must be submitted with proper orientation to ensure proper back up. Please review the File Orientation Guides carefully in the File Prep tabs for your particular product.
5. It is best to try to avoid using borders in your design. If a border is too close to the trim, the trim may be slightly off-center.
6. File must consist of 1/8" bleed and all important art and text must be within the safety margin. The more safety margin the better (to avoid awkwardly close trims or having critical elements from getting cut off).
7. Ensure that your PDF is high res and that all images are CMYK at 300 DPI.
8. Black text/type should have the following values: C0, M0, Y0, K100.
   Larger areas of black coverage should be C:30/M:20/Y:20/K:100 to get a deep richer black. (For more info, click here)
9. Embed or outline all fonts.
10. For best colour results, supply a CMYK only file (unless your product type specifically requires RGB color mode or specifically requires you to supply PMS colors).
