Q2 What label artwork specifications required ?
We accept the artwork format in Adobe Illustrator,Coreldraw, high resolution PDF etc.
Our strongly preferred format file is an Adobe Illustrator file with all fonts converted to outlines, as this is the format we process your artwork for film output.If you are not clear about the font outlining process, please contact us.
Besides all fonts outlining , the artworks also are required to have full bleeds and layout. A full bleed is when the color "bleeds " off the label.If your label design or background color is intended to cover the entire surface of the label, please note that we need a 0.0625'' bleed beyond the trim size of your label. For example,if you have a 2''×1'' label where the color bleeds off the edges,you should size your design to 2.125''×1.125'' as this ensure as a 0.0625'' bleed around the trim size.
It's also wise to leave at least 0.0625''of clear space(i.e. no significant design elements or text) inside the die-cut line to allow for slight shifts during die-cutting.
For label sticker printing, image mode and resolution are extremely important to ensure correct color and clarity. All raster(image based) files need to have resolution of 300 d.p.i at actual size. Our process handle CMYK and Pantone color -all RGB images will be converted , which can cause extreme shifts in color. If in doubt, we could offer you a digital printed proof , which allows you to see hoe the finished labels will look before going into production.

For shipment, it takes around 3-8 working days by International express. By air, it takes around 3-10 days. And by sea, it takes around 15-40 days.
Q6 What standard sizes do you have?
Keep in mind that we are not "pre-cut" labels — everything we print is custom produced and die cut after it is printed. So you need to tell us what size and what shape of your labels. All labels detail are customized.
Q7 What are "unwind directions" and how do they affect me?
Unwind directions dictate how the rolls of labels are produced, it is usually only important to specify an unwind direction when the labels are going to be machine-applied to end products, and it ensures that the applicator is receiving and dispensing the labels in the right direction on the containers they're being applied to. If you're intending to hand-apply each label, unwind direction usually is not important.
