Cassette J Card Template For Mac

Artwork for print must be a resolution of at least 300 pixels per inch.
All paper print items require a bleed of 1/8' (approx 3mm) unless noted.
Always leave a safety margin of 1/8' from the edge of the paper to important text or visuals - otherwise there is a risk of it getting cut off.
It doesn't really matter if you supply RGB or CMYK files for short-run jobs of under 500... HOWEVER it is not possible to print all RGB colours on a CMYK printer. Use the Photoshop Gamut warning and proofing features to anticipate colour changes.

PRINTING, CREASING AND FOLDING CASSETTE J-CARDS

Our J-Cards are printed full bleed, then creased and folded so the spine sits flat in the case.

What is full bleed printing?

This means your want your artwork to extend to the edge of the trimmed page, so you must include a bleed in your artwork extending past the trim lines. If you don't include a bleed, two of the four edges will have an amateur-looking white margin after cutting. Also, if you put important words or art too close to the trim line, it may get cut off, so you should use a safety margin of 1/8' or 3mm.

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR AMERICAN CUSTOMERS

Cassette orders should include text that reads 'Made in Canada' or 'Manufactured in Canada' on the J-card artwork in order to safely cross the border. The country of origin should be declared on the artwork otherwise you run the risk of the package being held at the border or returned to the manufacturer.

To avoid delays or art modification fees, include bleed.

A U-card is shaped like a U. The back panel covers the entire back of the cassette case. You must use cassette boxes which have no hub lock posts, otherwise the U-Cards need die-cutting or drilling to make a hole that fits over the posts.

We can also use NO-POST cases so you don't need to have the holes. In that case, we suggest to use hub locks.

Our pad printing offers high resolution printing with opaque inks, allowing you a lot of creative flexibility. We can do reverse fills or fine details (but not really both at the same time). We can also do halftones. Look around on our gallery and blogs for examples. Some of the jobs we do become collector's items partly due to the artistic on-cassette printing. Our new pad printer allows us to do 2 colour printing - send us your art for a quote on 2 colour printing. These templates are also used for our etching services.

THESE TEMPLATES ARE 1000 PIXELS PER INCH. THEY WILL BE CONVERTED TO MONOCHROME BITMAP FORMAT.
YOU CAN ALSO SUPPLY VECTOR PDF OR ILLUSTRATOR FILES.
