At Inteliprint, we want your packaging to look its absolute best. That’s why we’ve created this Artwork Help Guide — to walk you through preparing and submitting artwork files correctly for custom printed packaging.
Whether you’re a professional designer or just getting started, this guide covers the essentials for smooth and accurate printing.
File Formats We Accept
For the highest quality results, we recommend submitting artwork in one of the following formats:
-
PDF (Preferred)
-
AI (Adobe Illustrator)
-
EPS (Vector format)
-
High-resolution PNG or JPEG (300dpi minimum – not recommended for fine detail or logos)
Design Guidelines
1. Bleed Area
Add at least 3mm bleed on all sides to ensure your design prints edge-to-edge without white borders.
2. Safe Zone
Keep all important elements (text, logos, key visuals) at least 3mm inside the trim line to prevent accidental cutting.
3. Colour Mode
Use CMYK colour mode (not RGB). This ensures accurate colour reproduction during the print process.
4. Image Resolution
Images must be at least 300dpi at actual size to avoid pixelation or blurriness.
5. Fonts
Convert all fonts to outlines/curves or embed them in the file to avoid missing or substituted fonts.
