    General Timeline for Your Project

    Prepress

    The prepress process typically requires 2-3 days for an online PDF approval. Physical color proofs or ozalids typically take around 7 working days to arrive. Be sure to review your prepress workflow with your sales representative.
    Below is some special things you should pay attention when you create the print artworks:
    - Use CMYK color mode.
    - Ensure image resolution is no less than 300dpi.
    - Label and organize files by part numbers and names according to the spec sheet.
    - Embed all texts and fonts.
    - Use vector illustrations for die cuts and place them in different layers.
    - Use pure black color settings: C: 0%, M: 0%, Y: 0%, K: 100% to avoid color inconsistencies.
    - Keep a 3mm bleed on each side. All artwork and background colors should extend into the bleed area.
    - Maintain a 3mm margin area from the artworks to the die-cut lines.
    - For rigid box or hard covers: keep a 3mm bleed plus a 15mm wrap to ensure they can be wrapped around the edges.
