Ideal Applications
Perfect for protein bars sold in grocery chains, club stores, convenience shops, and health food retailers.

ARTWORK GUIDELINES

🎨 File Format & Resolution

For the clearest, sharpest print results on your rigid gift boxes:

Preferred vector formats: Submit artwork in PDF, AI, or EPS (ideal for scalable, crisp graphics).
Minimum resolution requirement: 300 DPI for all files, including raster images (JPEG/PNG).

This ensures your designs translate flawlessly to printed rigid gift boxes with no blurriness or pixelation.

✂️ Bleed & Safe Zone

To avoid cutting errors and ensure a perfect finish:

Bleed requirement: Add a 0.125″ (3mm) bleed to all edges of your design, to accommodate minor cutting inaccuracies during production.
Safe zone guideline: Keep all critical text, logos, and design elements at least 0.25″ (6mm) away from the finished edge, to prevent any important content from being cut off.

🎯 Color Mode

For accurate, consistent color reproduction on your rigid gift boxes:

Required color mode: CMYK (the industry standard for offset printing).
Note: RGB color mode is not suitable for print, as it will cause significant color shifts during production. Using CMYK guarantees your final printed colors match your original design as closely as possible.

✍️ Fonts & Line Weights

To eliminate printing issues and ensure readability:

Font handling: Convert all text to outlines (curves) to avoid missing font errors during production.
Minimum font size: 6pt to guarantee legibility on your rigid gift boxes.
Minimum line weight: 0.25pt to ensure lines do not fade or disappear in the final print.

✅ Proofing

Before final production:

Always review and approve a digital proof of your artwork. This step verifies the accuracy of colors, layout, text, and all design elements, allowing you to correct any issues before printing, saving time and avoiding costly reworks.
