Face shield promotional strip template |

PLEASE NOTE! The template serves only as a pattern for designing your own business card. Before saving your artwork please remove the template. Otherwise they will be printed together!Leaving the blue line outlining area of the project is acceptable. | Final Trim Size | Final trim size – see the template – marked with red line. | Full Bleed Size | See blue outline on the template (to download above). | Bleed | Make sure that both background and all design elements which touch the edges of the page (red line on a template) are extended by 2mm i.e. hanging 2mm of EACH edge of the paper (up to blue line on a template). | Additional Tips | The artwork background should not extend over the area delimited by the blue line. Important objects must be kept away from the trim line (red) and folding line (yellow) by at least 5 mm.
Do not change the layout of the template (and the artwork itself) on the sheet.
Otherwise, the printed piece will be trimmed unevenly. |

Graphics | Colour Model | Prepare your artwork in CMYK model (except for artwork with additional colour). If your artwork contains halftone images (textures, photos), convert it also to CMYK.
Using different colour spaces or colour models in one document (e.g. CMYK and RGB) leads to incorrect colour rendering and is not covered by warranty. | Rich Black | To achieve a full, dark black, use a black color composed of 33%C 33%M 33%Y 100%K. For printing on backlit materials, use 60%C 55%M 50%Y 100%K. | Tone Gradation | Do not set your tonal range for values smaller than 5%.
| Optimum Resolution | Optimum resolution for bitmaps (graphics, photos) is 600dpi.
| Layout | Turn the artwork by 90 degrees to check if bitmaps rotate correctly.
Set all texts on a separate top layer.
In case of saving your artwork as CDR file, please group all the objects and convert all fonts to curves/paths.
In your file please define your artwork size in accordance with above mentioned size and place your artwork centrally on a page.
If you save as EPS file the artwork which has no background (white), please frame it to above mentioned size.
Given the base positioning tolerance, there may be some shift in the job relative to the utility. Therefore, we discourage placing any kind of frames around the project, whose non-centricity on the utility can be seen.
All pages in the file should have been done in the same print orientation. By default utilities are reversed "Head to Head". |

Saving to File | File Formats | Preferred: PDF
Accepted: (unrecommended) CDR, TIFF i JPG (in other resolution than 600/300 dpi).
| Additional Information | If you have text in your artwork please remember to convert it to curves / paths or attach used fonts to your file (refers only to PDF files).
Don't convert texts to bitmaps!!!
If your artwork consists of more than one page, please save all pages in a single file. If the chosen file format does not allow for saving all pages in one file, please save them in two separate files named face and reverse. (projekt_awers.tiff, projekt_rewers.tiff)If Curved Line Trimming has been selected, the artwork containing the shape to be cut out should be saved in a separate file (using the word 'ciecie' [which translates to 'cutting' in English] in the name.
You can add preview to your artwork (you must write 'preview' in the name of the file).
For artwork with an underprint, please see the Graphics section (above) on how to prepare files.
If you send more than one file, please send them in ZIP format if possible.
In case of TIFF files please save them as single layer files, with no additional channels.For complex projects with multiple layers, overlapping graphics, shadows, transparencies etc., as far as possible, flatten to a single background image, retaining texts, logos, lines and other important elements of the project in the vector form only. In particular, this problem concerns CorelDRAW X4, where in extreme cases, despite a good-looking PDF file, the printout may contains errors. |

Additional Information | | Please keep in mind that due to differences in printing technology and colour presentation, some differences in colours may occur also when compared to inkjet printouts or colours displayed on a computer screen.
Using dark solids on both sides of the card may result in visible chipping off of ink; that is why you should make one side brighter.
Avoid printing white, thin text on dark background – ink spreads out slightly on plastic, making white text illegible. |
