PRINT & FINISH / 01
Build your brand in colour.
Use logos, typography and patterns to connect every box and bag in your range. Plan the print method around the material, artwork and order, with a separate layout for every packaging size.
Details that shape the final effect.
Define the colour reference
Share your brand palette and a physical colour reference where available. CMYK process printing and named spot colours serve different artwork needs; request the suitable approach for the chosen material.
Design on the approved dieline
Work at the agreed scale with cut, crease, bleed and safe areas clearly identified. Confirm inside and outside panels, reading direction and any clear window before preparing the final PDF.
Review the real surface
White board, coloured paper, kraft and clear materials can change the printed appearance. Ask which proof represents layout and which sample represents production colour on the actual substrate.
Choose where the effect belongs.
| Design direction | What to specify | Sample review |
|---|---|---|
| Logo & brand colours | Editable vector logo and colour references | Legibility, position and appearance on the paper |
| Photographs & full-colour art | High-quality images in the agreed print file | Image quality, colour conversion and detail |
| Printed clear components | Material, transparent areas and any white layer | Opacity, print side and surface compatibility |
| Multi-size ranges | Separate size and artwork version list | Correct dieline, panel alignment and quantities |
Approve the effect on the actual material.
A digital preview helps place the design. Use a physical finishing reference to agree the surface appearance, then review the selected finish on the intended paper and assembled structure. Ask for project-specific compatibility, tooling and quantity details before confirming production.
A few useful answers
Will the printed colour match my screen?
A screen emits light while a package reflects it. Use the agreed proof and a sample on the chosen material to assess the colour; the screen preview mainly helps review layout.
Should finishing marks be merged into the colour artwork?
Supply clearly identified finishing layers or separate masks aligned to the same dieline. Confirm the file convention with the production team before export.
