WHY ARE THE COLOURS OF MY LABEL DIFFERENT TO WHAT I SEE ON MY COMPUTER OR DEVICE?

Unfortunately, some colours that appear on a computer or device will not be precise when comparing them to a label. All computers and devices have different parameters when it comes to what you see on your screen. If you have an issue with the quality of your order you can submit a support ticket.

ARTWORK

HOW DO I SET UP MY FILE?

The best way to set up your file is by using illustrator or photoshop. Please add .125” on all sides of your file or .25” in height and width to your page size. This will give us enough space to add the bleed to your file.

HOW DO I SET UP BLACK IN MY FILE?

We suggest using a rich black or deep black when using  black in your file. Achieving a rich black is simple. Just use this formula Cyan – 30  Magenta – 30 Yellow – 20  Black -100.

HOW DO YOU MATCH COLOURS?

The best way to match colours is to use Pantone colours in your file. When printing Pantones we can get very close to the Pantone colour. It is very likely that the colours will not be exactly like the Pantones chosen. However, we do our best to get the colour as close to the Pantones as possible. If you have Pantone colours in your file, please contact us at [email protected]  to send us all your information.

If you have a file that has Pantones we will automatically convert them to CMYK.  When converting Pantones to CMYK it is likely that colours will change. Some more than others.

CMYK OR RGB?

All RGB files will be converted to CMYK if not done before. This will cause some colours to change.
