Further design guidelines

• Bleed: With a bleed design, the printing must continue up to this line.
• Cut-off line: This is the final format on which the beermat will be die-cut.
• Safety margin: Make sure that important elements (such as texts) that must not be omitted fall within the safety margin.
• Always convert texts to outlines.
• We recommend 100% black for black texts and thin lines.
• We advise to submit black and white images as 100% black (not full colour black).
  This prevents a color cast (due to a register difference at the press).
• For deep black we advise to build up the black from: 100% black and 40% cyan.
• Texts may not be less than 7 points.
  We recommend a minimum of 8 points for ornamental and light fonts.
• Positive lines must not be thinner than 0.5 points.
  Negative lines must not be less than 1 point.
• Format the file in CMYK.
• White may not be on overprint (this disappears when printing).
• We recommend when using a frame or white border, to stay 4mm within the cut-off line.
• Material deformation can occur during the printing process.
  This means that there is a chance that the print will no longer be perfectly centered after die-cutting.
  This is most noticable in designs with an edge that is parallel to the cut line.
• For images, use  CMYK with a resolution of 300 dpi.
• Maximum file size is 10Mb.
• Save the file as a PDF. Save as PDF with profile PDF / X-1a: 2001.
• Submit the files as seperate pages (1 PDF per beermat).
