Artwork and Templates

Yes, providing the work in question is not subject to copyright, or the copyright that relates to it is yours, or you have permission to use it. At the simplest level, we can scan your existing print, but this produces a far inferior result to having the design reproduced by hand. We are happy to advise on the reproduction cost, without obligation, so you can choose the best option for your needs.

Designing with foil elements is not difficult but it does need attention to the following points. If you are in any doubt, please give us a call on 01492 818515 before you start designing so we can guide you and avoid unnecessary work on your part.

If you are preparing a single-sided design

For single-sided designs, please supply a two-page PDF:

• • Page 1 is your CMYK artwork

  • Page 2 is the foil artwork.

If you are preparing a double-sided design

Double-sided designs require a four-page PDF:

• Page 1 is the CMYK front of the artwork

• Page 2 is the CMYK back of the artwork

• Page 3 is the foil artwork for the front

• Page 4 is blank.

For the best results

• • Foil artwork should contain solid black shapes in the exact position where the foil is required, ideally in vector form for the best results.

  • Foil artwork must be 100% black with zero cyan, magenta or yellow.

  • Foil has a registration tolerances of approximately ±0.5 mm. It is not therefore recommended that small text or thin lines are foiled as perfect register cannot be guaranteed. Text should be 10pt or larger and lines should be at least 1pt thickness to minimise the risk of misregistration.
