Artwork Guidelines for Flawless Print Packaging

Artwork file preparation standards, dieline specifications, and prepress guidelines for food,
beverage, pharmaceutical, health and beauty, electronics, and retail packaging.

File Preparation Standards

At Netpak, our pre-press team ensures your artwork files are turnkey print ready. We require:

  • 300 DPI or higher for images to guarantee sharp, professional print quality.
  • CMYK colour profile to maintain brand-accurate hues in print.
  • Bleeds extended beyond trim lines to prevent white edges.
  • Legible type sizes and embedded fonts to maintain consistency across files and press.

Dieline and Trim Specifications

Our structural design specialists develop precise dielines that:

Panel Alignment

Folds. Tabs. Perforations.

Align panels, folds, glue tabs, and perforations.

Precise registration across panels for accurate box assembly and clean folding.

Crop and Trim Outside Bleed

Clear Cutting References

Place crop marks and trim indicators outside the bleed.

Clear cutting references that protect artwork and prevent visible edges.

Prepress Requirements

Netpak’s expert pre-press workflow transforms your designs into production-ready assets:

1

Creation of CTP printing plates in-house

Fast turnaround with tight quality control from plate making through press setup.

2

Colour verification and proofing

Confident reproduction and consistency via calibrated proofs and measured checks.

3

Full pre-flight check

Quality Assurance Standards
