Product with predefined colours: how to create the file – Zendesk

We print our products with many different printing process and technologies. Most of them are printed using CMYK colours and for some others we offer a predefined colours selection. In this cases you need to choose which colour(s) you want to be printed during the product configuration:

For one printing colour (e.g. plastic mailing bags, wrapping paper and some models of paper bags):
- - Select the printing colour through the ones available in the product page

- - If you have chosen one of the proposed colours, create your design using only black (C 0% - M 0% - Y 0% - K 100%): all the graphics in black will be printed with the colour chosen during the product configuration
  - If you have selected a customised colour (as can be done for wrapping paper, for instance), send us a vector file with one-colour graphics in CMYK
For products in which one, two or three different printing colours can be selected:
- - Select the colour(s) through the ones available in the product page

- - Find the colours available in the template provided

- - Create your artwork on the specific layer(s) you find already set in the template
  - Assign the colour you want using the swatches panel colours (one colour per layer)

For promotional items with one-colour printing:
- - Find the colours available in the template provided

- - Use it to fill the graphic contents created

Please download the instruction document in order to create a correct file and don't forget that:

The artwork must consist entirely of vector graphics
Gradients, reticulation, and transparent graphics can't be used
It's important to follow the minimum printable size recommended for font and lines
In case of screen printing (tote bags, fabric pouches, packaging tapes) that different colours must not come into contact.
