Artwork Guidelines

Artwork we receive MUST be in Illustrator!

Up to Illustrator CS6 is fine.

We must have a color copy to accompany artwork.

(No Quark)

We can only receive artwork as an AI, EPS or PDF file. If you design artwork in any other form such as JPEG or BMP's, please make sure you have it translated to Illustrator CS5 or lower. We can not convert files. JPEG and BMP's are for viewing purposes only.

No red, green or blue format.

We need to receive artwork in CMYK. The CMYK file can be as a spot color or process color. If we receive files as an RGB, when we change over to CMYK, the colors have a tendency to change.

We can accept artwork by CD/DVD, E-mail or Flash Drive.

Send all art files and proof correspondence to: artdept@magnolialabel.com.

A note on fonts and placed images.

If using unusual fonts, or a placed image, please include them with your artwork. If you send in artwork that you do not include your fonts with, and you select your type as (CREATE OUTLINES) we will not be able to go in and make changes. We will have to recreate that type using an in-house font as close as possible.

Any changes we have to make to artwork sent to us that is not in the format listed above, will cause an additional art charge.
