We offer 4 decoration methods; screen (pantone colors,  no half-tones supported), offset (cmyk or pantone colors in higher qtys), digitally printed vignettes and blind deboss.

Ask your customer service representative to email you the dieline template for the item in your order.  (A select list of dielines are available on this blog for download - more are added each day).

The dielines are in pdf format which can be opened in artwork programs Illustrator and InDesign.  If you need to view it for reference - you can also open this file in an acrobat program like Reader.

The dieline is the outside view.  When setting art - please set the art on a layer separate from the dieline so that we easily prepare output plates & films after the proof is approved.  The dieline will not print and is just there as a guide.

If your order will be screened or offset printed - you only need the item dieline.  If your order will use vignette decoration - you also need the vignette dieline template in the specific size used for your order (for example, 3 x 1.5, or 3.5 x 5.5).
