Supplying your own artwork?

We accept CD packaging artwork in most popular Mac and PC file formats but please refer to our Artwork Supply Guidelines before uploading your files to our site as your printed CD packaging will only be as good as the artwork you provide. Also, please double check your artwork for spelling errors, typos and other problems prior to supplying it to us as subsequent changes may attract additional charges.

We will then amend the content of your CD packaging in response to your feedback before a final printed proof is supplied to you for sign-off.

If you'd prefer to create your own CD packaging artwork there are a few things you should consider:

Colours: Numerous studies have shown that full colour CD packaging attracts a far higher response rate than a black-and-white equivalent. That's why we print our CD packaging in full colour by default. That said, if you want black-and-white simply select this during the ordering process. By the way, we specialise in digital printing and therefore do not offer CD packaging in 'spot' colours. In other words, we can either print your CD packaging in full colour OR black-and-white. So if you don't want black-and-white then you may as well go to town... use as many colours as you wish and include full colour photographs or illustrations. There's no extra cost!

Resolution:Please be aware that a photograph or other 'bitmap' image requires a resolution of just 72dpi (dots per inch) for it to appear clear and sharp on a computer monitor. However, the same image requires a resolution of 300dpi for it to appear sharp when printed professionally. Therefore always check the resolution of your artwork. Just because your design looks great on screen doesn't mean it will reproduce correctly when printed. For further information about CD and packaging printing and artwork resolution visit Tom's Blog.

Layout: Always keep text and other important elements of your design at least 3mm away from the edge of the CD packaging. Although we use highly sophisticated digital printing equipment, some movement is inherent within the printing process so if you place something too near to the edge of your CD packaging it could be trimmed off.

Bleed: A professional graphic designer will always add 'bleed' to their CD packaging artwork. Bleed is the method designers use to ensure that the CD packaging they get back from their printing company doesn't have ugly white borders around the edges. You see, despite all the recent advances in printing technology some movement - albeit only a fraction of a millimetre - still occurs during the CD packaging printing process. To compensate for this movement, designers add bleed to their artwork. They extend by around 4mm beyond the edge of their artwork, any design elements they would like to touch the edge of the CD packaging. So for instance, if you wanted to include a background colour which covered the entire area of your CD packaging, you would extend this colour approx 4mm beyond each edge of your CD packaging artwork. This means that any movement during printing will not result in ugly white borders around the edge of your CD packaging. For further information about bleed visit Tom's Blog.
