Digital Full Color
Our Digital Full-Color process offers crisp colors, a generous imprint area, and exceptional clarity for small fonts, fine lines, and details. This process is currently available on select non-reinforced die cuts.

Art Specifications
Programs and Formats
Any other file formats are not acceptable and may delay production.
ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR—Preferred Vector Art Program
Save as native Illustrator .ai file, Illustrator Default PDF with the "Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities" box check-marked.
ADOBE PHOTOSHOP—Our Preferred Raster Art Program
Save files as native Photoshop .psd or layered TIFF with transparent backgrounds and/or only necessary layers.
ADOBE INDESIGN (Macintosh Version Only)
Please PACKAGE the file and include all fonts and linked images. Please don't use any third-party plug-ins—if they are used we'll be unable to process your art.
Fonts and Line Rules
Please convert fonts to outlines (paths or curves). If we do not have the exact font you used, the text in your art will default to a less attractive font, changing the look of your design. Converting your fonts to outlines eliminates this hazard.
Minimum Sizes (if free floating on the bag)
.25-point lines or rules
6-point fonts. Thin serif font styles are not recommended.
Imprint Colors
Color tints/shades/tones may fluctuate up to 5% within a print run or reorder. PMS color matching is not available.
Special Note About Our Printing Process
The Digital Full-Color process requires art to be ¼” from left and right edges and ½” from top and bottom of the bag. All text needs to be at least ½” away from the handle. (See template below for example.)
