Frequently asked questions
Questions about artwork?
01Do you accept AI or EPS files as well as PDF?+
Yes. We accept PDF, AI and EPS. For best results, use a high-resolution PDF with fonts and images embedded.
02What happens if the artwork contains errors?+
The check is not automatic. If you purchase the optional add-on, our team reviews the file and emails you about any corrections; otherwise, you can check it yourself using the 3D preview and checklist.
03Can I preview it before ordering?+
Yes. In the 3D editor you can rotate the packaging through 360°, check the artwork and simulate assembly.
04Are the dimensions internal or external?+
Dimensions entered in the configurator are external. Ask our team to check them if you are unsure.
05Can I prepare gold, silver and raised varnish?+
Yes. Special finishes must be placed on a separate layer using the spot colours in the complete guidelines.
