We recommend sanserif font for small type (4.5 to 7pt). Where postcript fonts have been used, include both printer and screen fonts.
Always send linked files with your label file. 
If the artwork is in RGB, our artists must convert it to CMYK, then get the artwork color shift approved by the client before sending it in for printing.
Always design label artwork in the CMYK colorspace – RGB flat files CANNOT BE USED. Make sure the following are in the PDF’s file settings: embed thumbnail, retain file colors & editability, no compression, downsample to 300 DPI, no color conversion, and no passwords. If you must use an alternative vector-based software application, you must export a CMYK-print quality (.pdf) file. A ‘bleed’ is when the artwork extends beyond the edge of where your label will be cut so that there are no white spaces around the label’s borders. These images will look good on your monitor but aren’t suitable for printing labels. 
DPI is the number of dots a printer can print per inch or that a monitor can display.
DPI stands for “dots per inch,” which is a measurement of the scanning resolution of an image. The file should be in CMYK format, at least 300 DPI (dots per inch), and your label has a bleed of. 
Set type and compose the file in Illustrator. Please do not set type or layout your label in Adobe Photoshop or other pixel-based programs.(When labels are created in InDesign, exporting the files creates issues with slicing the artwork, gradients, drop shadows, images, and colors.)
Instead, set type and compose your artwork file in Adobe Illustrator.
Please do not set type or layout your label in Adobe InDesign or other page layout-based programs. If you are using any other software for your labels, please consult your customer service or sales rep to verify compatibility. Our preferred file format is Adobe Illustrator (.ai). You can download our specs sheet to keep or give to your label designer. To ensure quality labels, we recommend following our design requirements for label printing and using the appropriate design software.
