Design-related help and resources

When designing for print, it is important to make sure your artwork is correctly set-up for print. We have compiled the information you will need to do this in the 'Designers Directory'.

Artwork

Clicking the links to the left under the Artwork section will take you to pages relating to the setting-up of your documents for print. Included in this is information about both Hexachrome and Metal FX printing, two brand-new printing techniques which can radically transform your print work if used.

Finishing

Finishing refers to all of the processes which occur after printing. This can range from drilling, where a product has circular holes cut out of it (to your specification) or perforation.

Templates

The Templates section contains most of the templates needed to help you design the products available in our online catalogue. There you will find most configurations available in both PDF and EPS format. These files contain all the relevant dimensions for your products, including the bleed limits and quiet borders, as well as guides for folds for products such as folded leaflets.
