About Design
What kind of proofs and pouch information should I offer?
The design source file format including PS, AI and CDR, is acceptable.
Bag type, sizes, quantities, material structure, thickness and design artwork are needed.
What is the best way to supply my art files?
We prefer all art files be high-resolution Adobe Illustrator files. Please ensure you include All fonts/outlined fonts and attachments, and if your artwork bleeds off the edges, please add an extra 1/8 inch for bleed.
NOTE: When using white ink, please supply it on its own separate layer.
What about protecting your clients’ assets and designs?
All your assets and designs will be kept private and only be used for your work. No one can order your design from us.
Can I change the design after ordering?
Yes, of course. You can change it even during the production. But it will cost you a few extra charges and you have to extend the delivery time.
