You have two options for your perfect personalised print product:

1.) Upload finished print data directly

You can easily upload finished print data (e.g. PDF or images). Or you can design your very own design directly on our website using our online design tool.

2.) Create your own design template with our free software.

In our design tool you will find a large selection of professional designs for various print products. You can customise the templates to suit your needs. Of course, you can also upload your own logos or images to customise your design. If you want the same look for different products, you can simply use the same design for the different product templates.

Please pay attention to: 

• Correct spelling of your texts
• Sharp display of your images (300 dpi & CMYK colour space)
• Optimal readability of all content
• Filling the overprint area (bleed) for borderless printing. For adequate bleed, the design must exceed the bleed area denoted by the dashed line illustrated on the design canvas.

There are currently three materials that you need to take care of when designing:  

• Transparent film
• Kraft paper
• Silver foil 

When designing online, you can either upload a PDF / image (jpg or png) or use a template.

Transparent film

If you have chosen the transparent film, the designer will display a gray and white checkerboard pattern as the background and represent the transparent background of the label.

If you upload a PDF or logo with a white or coloured background and put the image over the label, the checkerboard pattern is covered. As soon as the checkerboard pattern is no longer visible, this area is printed and the transparency is no longer given. In order to only print what you really want, you have to deposit your files with a transparent background in an image editing program. Image formats such as png or PDF are suitable for this.

As soon as the chessboard is visible in the background after you have uploaded the files, you have a clear / transparent background for your labels.

With transparent labels, you always have to pay attention to the background on which the labels are applied, as the background shines through.

For example, if you apply transparent labels with black writing on a red wine bottle, the background of the red wine bottle shines through so strongly that you can no longer read the writing.

Kraft paper

If you have chosen the kraft paper, the designer will display a kraft-coloured (natural brown) pattern as the background and represent the kraft paper material.

If you upload a PDF or logo with a white or coloured background and put the image over the label, the kraft paper background will be covered. However, please keep in mind that your design will be printed on a brownish material. 

If your design contains white text elements, you must create white as the special colour opaque white.

White printing is included and at no additional cost.

Silver foil

With the silver foil, a silver pattern is shown as the background and represents the silver foil material.

If you upload a PDF or logo with a white or coloured background and put the image over the label, the silver background is covered. However, please keep in mind that your design will be printed on a silver foil material. 

If your design contains white text elements, you must create white as the special colour opaque white.

White printing is included and at no additional cost.

We prefer PDF as the format for the print data. Alternatively, you can also upload images in the formats JPG, PNG, AI, TIFF, PSD and EPS.

Since only graphic formats are permitted, we ask you not to upload any Word files. Here you will find further information on the delivery of print data.

For all files, please ensure that the quality of your output data is sufficiently high (300 dpi) to ensure perfect printing.

Overprint area / bleed

A bleed is the part of your design that will be cut away after your print product is the right size. The goal is to have your design or your images borderless across the entire surface to avoid visible white edges.

Please position your content / areas completely in the overprint area so that we can guarantee a quality print, ie create the bleed as overprint.

Edge

This is the final edge of your product after the bleed has been cut away.

Protection zone

This is the area within the edge of the finished product. This protection zone is kept away from blades and cutting machines. It is therefore ideal for placing the content of your design here. Everything else outside of this zone is at risk of being simply cut away!

Yes, our online design tool supports the two colour spaces RGB and CMYK. We recommend CMYK.

The maximum file size that you can upload is 15 MB.

To get an optimal end result, you should use image resolutions of at least 300 dpi (dots per inch). For line art, the resolution should be 1200 dpi.

This is likely beacuse we receive a RGB file (Red, Green, Blue). We recommend that you send your file as CMYK, since we use the same process colours; Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Key colour Black. in the printing process. Please note that the colours on the screen can often deviate from the original colour, especially if the screen is not calibrated.

This really depends on the use you require. Lot's of helpful material information can be found in our FAQ's. In addition, on the label configuration page you can view "compare materials" to learn more.
