Graphic Requirements for Adhesive Labels

So that your order runs like clockwork ...

...we ask you to consider the following points for the data:

  • Save graphics as vector (see below))
  • Please convert fonts into curves/paths/sign paths
  • The resolution of photos should be at least 300 dpi
  • For line drawings at least 600 dpi
  • Bleed at least 1mm (extend backgrounds and images beyond the final format)
  • Place fonts at a safe distance (min. 1mm) from the label edge
  • Create EAN and QR codes in 100% black

When you zoom in, the difference becomes visible: Advantage of the vector: The graphic does not show any loss of quality even when magnified more than 16 times. This is different with pixel graphics: The staircase effect is clearly visible, the quality "suffers".
What does this mean for the production of your label?
  • trouble-free further processing
  • fast and uncomplicated working
  • Size, colour and shape can be adapted to your label
  • As with fonts, each character is a vector
  • Pixel graphics must be traced manually
  • Costly and time-consuming work step depending on template and motive
  • No 100% match between vector and original, as there is no clear edge due to the stair effect
