Layout

What we do

Print-ready artwork for every part of your pack, laid out on our own templates.

  • We set your images and text up on the correct Replicat template for your product, with bleed, trim and safe areas handled for you.
  • Colours are converted to CMYK for offset print, with rich black where it matters.
  • Your text is typeset as supplied, including track listings, credits and thank-yous.
  • Your barcode goes in the right place if you've ordered one from us.
  • You get a PDF proof to check and approve before anything is printed.

The service works from the images and text you supply. If you need photography or illustration created, talk to us first.
