Don’t use PNG images when printing, only JPG, PSD, TIFF or PSD images.If you are printing Pantone colours make sure they are correct and set to Spot.Make sure all printing colour are CMYK.Make sure that any design elements that bleeds off the page are extended to the bleed line.

Set the Line to “Overprint Stroke” in the attributes tabĭesign on a new layer below the “Cut Line” layer.I also add a 2mm or 3mm bleed to my document in Indesign to make sure I have enough ink coverage for the cutting processĭraw your cut line on this layer, and make sure that it is set to: Remember that if you want a 90mm x 90mm sticker result you’ll have to setup your document to 91mm x 91mm in order to make sure your cut line falls within the constraints of the page. So basically you need to provide your printer with a PDF that is both usable art but also clearly indicates where the box or sticker needs to be cut after printing.įor this explanation I am going to use a round sticker as an example.
