ARTWORK GUIDELINES for printing on CD-R and DVD R Media:
  • We prefer your artwork to be supplied as Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop documents or as EPS-files and colormode CMYK (Euroscale). We also accept any standard PC or Mac file format: jpeg, bmp, tif, pdf, etc. with a minimum resolution of 300 dpi with image size as actual size.
  • Preferably supply your artwork on a CD-R.
  • Include a list of all files and fonts used in your artwork design.
  • For your convenience we've got a few templates to download below to help you create your artwork.
  • Don’t leave template lines in your artwork, if you do, please make sure that they can be removed: use different layers for template and artwork!
  • Don’t knock out the center hole in the CD face artwork. Standard printable media generally have a non printable center area with a diameter of 38 mm Ø; hub printable media have a non printable center area of 16 to 22 mm depending upon the brand of media used.
  • Design your artwork in the printable area of the CD or DVD (unlike for booklets, cover cards, inlays and other printed matter, no "bleed zone" of 3 mm is necessary here) and don't place text or graphics too close to the edges.
  • If you save your artwork as an ai-, psd- or eps-file, please don't forget to outline all text and include any fonts used.
  • Always include colour printouts of your artwork for reference.
