How to Setup Your Medical Packaging Artwork
-
Supply a Flawless Dieline: Please overlay your artwork onto a flat engineering net. Use a separate, labeled layer for Artwork, solid lines for Cut Lines, and dashed lines for Score/Crease Lines.
-
Verify Regulatory Elements: Ensure your design includes dedicated, unblurred spaces for unique batch codes, expiry dates, and scannable QR or barcodes.
-
Bleed & Quiet Zones: Include a standard 3mm bleed beyond all external cutting lines. Keep critical text, legal warnings, and dosage charts at least 3mm away from any score lines to ensure no data is warped or cracked when folded.
-
File Format: Supply your final files as a vector-based, high-resolution PDF at 300dpi in CMYK colour mode.
