What you actually get in the box

Plain-language documentation of the print pipeline we use. If you're approving a proof, this is the exact spec the file is built against.

Safe area: 3 mm inside the trim — keep all text here
Crop marks: Printed on every proof PDF for registration

Resolution

Target: 300 dpi minimum at final trim size
AI generations: Upscaled and tuned for 300 dpi output
Your uploads: We warn you if the upload is below spec
Proof PDF: Embedded at native resolution, no resample

Important: a note on colour (sRGB → CMYK)

The AI generator produces artwork in sRGB, the standard screen colour space. Your printer prints in CMYK ink. The two don't perfectly overlap — some very saturated on-screen colours (neon magenta, electric blue) will shift slightly when inked.

The proof PDF we produce embeds the sRGB artwork and tags a FOGRA39 intent (the European coated CMYK standard used by most label printers). The printer's RIP performs the final separation against that profile at press time.

If you need exact brand-colour match (Pantone spot, specific CMYK recipe), let us know on approval and our prepress team will perform a manual conversion before printing. Otherwise the on-screen proof is a reliable preview of the final print within ~5% of perceptual colour.

What approval means

The exact artwork you approved is frozen and stamped with your account email, the approval timestamp and the proof version number.
You can still edit before ordering — edits invalidate the approval and require a fresh proof and fresh approval.
Your print-ready PDF with bleed, safe area and crop marks is always downloadable from the order page and the proof step.
Every production label is printed from that approved file — no human edits happen downstream.
