Print prep

Artwork guidelines

Our recommendations for preparing print-ready box artwork — so your design looks sharp on every order.

CMYK colour mode for print-ready artwork
01

Color Mode

Depending on your print method, artwork should be set up in CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black) or Pantone spot colours. RGB is for screens only — convert before you send files so colours print accurately on your boxes.

Legible font sizes for printed packaging
02

Fonts & Text

Use body text no smaller than 9pt so copy stays readable once printed. Decorative or script fonts often lose clarity on packaging — choose clean, legible typefaces and outline fonts in your final print file.

300 DPI minimum resolution for sharp printing
03

Resolution

Artwork should be at least 300 DPI at the final print size. Lower resolution files look soft or pixelated on board and corrugated stock — especially on fine details and small text.

Accepted artwork file formats
04

File Formats

Send print-ready vector files such as PDF, AI or EPS whenever possible. Photos and raster elements can be high-resolution JPEG or PNG at 300 DPI. We also accept PSD and native design files.

Organized artwork file naming and layers
05

File Organization

Keep layers separated and name files clearly — for example logo.ai, dieline.pdf and artwork-print.pdf. Clear structure helps our prepress team use the right elements and speeds up your proof.
