We have put together this production checklist for you to look over before final submission. If you are working with a designer on your project, please provide them the checklist to ensure they know about artwork requirements.
All artwork should be supplied in PDF or Adobe Illustrator AI format.
Each artwork variation or product SKU should be saved as a separate file.

Artwork that is intended to extend past the rolled edges extends through the indicated red bleed lines. The same goes for artwork on the lip.

All photo-based elements should be at least 300 dpi in resolution.
Pantone colors are called out via swatches.
White ink on non-white paper has been called out using a swatch.
Separate layers for different customization options have been created. (PRINTING: place all printed elements here; FOIL: place all foil elements here; SPOT UV: place all spot UV elements here, etc.)
Appropriate swatches from the legend have been used to indicate customization options.
Make sure to delete unused design elements, guides, or layers.
Save the file using Adobe Illustrator default settings.
We recommend you print out the artwork on your home printer to reconfirm you’re happy with the layout.
