• For making layout sketches, you can use common graphic design softwares for PC-Windows or Mac OsX operating systems:
• Adobe Indesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, Acrobat.
• If you use Office software, save your work as PDF files.

• The page size of the document is the same as the page size of the final clean-cut product.
• All coloured surfaces and lines reaching to the edge of the page must be drawn 3 mm across the page edge.
• It is advisable to use the die-cut template as an aid in designing the base layout. Then the colour base reaching the edge will be drawn 3 mm over the outmost frame.
• NOTICE: Don’t place the text and pictures too close to the edge if they are not supposed to be cut away.

• Coloured pictures CMYK, black and white pictures Gray Scale.
• Resolution in 300 dpi 1:1.
• Line picture resolution in 1200 dpi 1:1.

• Determine the colours of four-colour works in CMYK values and additional spot colours as Pantone colours.

• Preferably use PostScript or Opentype fonts.
• Avoid TrueType fonts. Attach the fonts and pictures used to the open layout document.
• If you convert fonts, note that modifying the text is no longer possible, so do attach the original open work document along with the converted layout document.
