CMYK vs RGB and Pantone Colors

Our machine all are based on CMYK mode and Pantone Colors mode, but NOT RGB. Therefore all RGB images will need to be converted into CMYK, which will cause extreme shifts in color. RGB looks brighter than CMYK, so it will look darker after converted into CMYK.

If there any questions, please contact us to find out solutions to make adjustments to the RGB color changing, make it close to CMYK.

Vector vs.Non-Vector

Using vector graphics can print out the best quality labels, also allows us to make adjustments to the artworks. For example, Vector to be easy to make the Gold Foil, Spot Gloss UV, Partial Metallic, and so on. However, if working on Non-Vector graphics, have to pay a lot of time, to draw an outline in Adobe Photoshop, but still cannot reach the quality of the Vector artwork.

Fonts

Before sending us your documents, please make sure that you had converted all your fonts to outlines. In this case, we can avoid missing fonts or something changing, which will create errors in your ready print labels.

Bleeds

All of your dies have three parts: Bleeding Line, Cut Line, and Safe Line.

Bleeding Line: we will require 2mm extra images to make sure the image or colors meets the label edge, for cutting.

Cut Line: it is for die-cutting the labels, make it into your label size.

Safe Line: make sure your label specifications safety, will not cut by die-cutting mold.
