Submission specifications for PVC Menu cards
- Add 3 mm bleed.
- To allow leeway for cutting differences in production, always add a bleed of 3 mm around all edges of your design. Make sure colours, background pictures and layouts extend into the bleed area so as to avoid leaving white lines as a result of cutting tolerances. You can submit your file with crop marks and printer's marks but we would prefer a file without them to ensure that you get a perfect quality print.
- Keep 4 mm safety margin
- Keep all important text and images at least 4 mm away from the edge of the finished size.
- Resolution of at least 300 dpi.
- Make sure the resolution of the images and graphics in your artwork are at least 300 dpi.
- Use CMYK as the color mode.
- Prepare your files using CMYK as the color mode, not RGB. Use colormode FOGRA39 (ISO Coated v2) for coated papertypes and colormode FOGRA47 (PSO Uncoated ISO12647) for uncoated papertypes. If you are unsure of the colour mode of your file, don't worry we can always convert this for you. Keep in mind this can cause the colours to differ from the original file.
- Resolution of at least 150 dpi.
- Make sure the resolution of the images and graphics in your artwork are at least 150 dpi.
- Convert fonts to outlines or embed all the fonts.
- Make sure you convert fonts to outlines or embed all the fonts when saving it to PDF.
- Make sure the ink coverage isn't higher than 300%.
- Force Color Images to CMYK with a 260% ink limit (in Photoshop > Convert Color Profile > Photoshop 5 Default CMYK). Make sure the ink coverage isn't higher than 300%.
- Save your files in uneditable, print-ready file formats.
- Save your files in uneditable, print-ready file formats (PDF (1.4 or higher), TIFF, EPS, JPG). Deliver your files in one layer: the background layer.
- Here you can find the customized submission specifications for contour cutting.
- Your design is required to have a contour line set up on a separate layer, and made from a spot color called "cutcontour" of only 100% Magenta in a PDF file. The design should run 3mm outside the contour cut line (bleed), so the design is cut without any white borders. Click here for a pdf file with more information.
- Use the right values for full color black.
- Use Rich Black (C:63% M:52% Y:51% K:100%) for larger areas and text to get a deep black color. Do not use this value for text smaller than 15 pt or plain text. This can only be used in full color printing. For designing black smaller texts use 100% black.
- Lines should be at least 0.25 pt.
- Lines should be at least 0.25 pt. Negative lines should be at least 0.5 pt.
- Check your artwork on overprint.
- Make sure no elements in your artwork are set on overprint. Unless you want this effect in your design. The degree of transparency in printing depends on the ink, paper, and printing method used.
- Keep 4 mm safety margin from the fold.
- Keep all important text and images at least 4 mm away from the fold.
- Save the file for folded products as spreads.
- The sides of folded products have to be laid out in a file next to each other.
