When creating a file that you will be sending us please follow the following guidelines.

For 1 and 2 color printing:

All colors should be Pantone colors which can be added to your swatch panel by the following:
Open your swatch panel -> Click the circle in the upper left-hand corner with an arrow in it for a menu -> Click New Color Swatch -> Change the Color Mode drop down box to show one of your Pantone options Preferably Pantone Solid Uncoated -> Scroll through the colors to find the color you want to add and highlight it -> click ok or you can ad dmore by just click "add" so it will not close the window.

For 4 color printing:

Colors for everything must in in CMYK. Colors can be added the same way as above, with the exception that you select CMYK in the Color Mode box. Pictures should be converted before being placed into the program. This can be done Photoshop.

A problem with using InDesign is that no file are embedded into the document you must package the file to send it to us. You package your file by doing the following File -> Package -> File in any info you wish to include and hit Continue -> Navigate to the location you want the folder saved and select a name -> Click Package -> Click OK if a font alert pops up. You now have a folder with everything you need to send us. It will be easiest to send if you zip the folder using a program such as winzip.

If your document bleeds, pull your bleeds 1/8 of an inch from the edge of your document. Please do not put any text or picture edges within the last 1/8 of an inch of the cut line, this way it won't run the risk of getting cut off.

Save your document and you can send via email to our graphics department or your service representative.
