Specifications for Using Our Manufacturing Services

 FILE FORMATS
If you are providing us with artwork, please provide files in the following formats:
• EPS (preferred) in CMYK color mode, 100% in size with crop marks (CorelDraw!, Freehand, Illustrator)
• TIF in CMYK color mode, 300 dpi, 100% in size with crop marks and fold marks (Fireworks, PhotoPaint, PhotoShop)
• PDF (ADOBE ACROBAT) files are acceptable but TIF and/or EPS is preferred for accuracy.  PDF files MUST be set for PrePress or Press Quality. 

NOTE: Some delays in the project may occur if submitting files in formats other than EPS or TIF.

Please ship your files to us on disc (include all logos, photos and fonts necessary).   EPS files should have fonts converted to curves/outlines.  For optimal quality, TIF files should not have fonts smaller than 8pt. text. A minimum bleed of 0.25" on all sides is suggested for all artwork, with 0.5" on the box.  Please keep all important information within the artwork outside the bleed area (0.25").  All cards should be separate files. 

For Manufacturing: separate files/pages per card on actual sized page, with crop marks outside the live area. We will create a proof for every item for your review and approval.  Once approvals are completed a full color factory sample will be made.  After the factory sample is approved, manufacturing will begin.  Once completed, the games will then be ready for shipping.

For Prototypes: on letter sized (8.5" x 11") pages fitting as many as possible on the page, with crop marks outside the live area (I.E., 8 up for 3.5”x2.5” size, or 10 up for 3.5”x2” size, etc.)  We will create a soft proof (emailed) for every item for your review and approval.  This process takes approximately 1-2 business days.  Once approvals are completed the printing and assembly process will begin.  Any changes after this is started may require an additional cost for re-printing and/or assembly for each item changed depending on how far along the project is.
