If you’re looking to improve your design skills, learn the best software, and get insider tips on freelancing, you’re in the right place. Let’s grow your creative career together!
As graphic designers, although we live in a very digital world, print design is very much still alive and well. And in today’s video, I am going to teach you everything that you need to know in order to have a perfectly print ready document in graphic design. There are lots of small things to remember when setting up a file for print. The correct file size that is set up for print, the correct resolution and DPI (PPI), the correct colour specs (CMYK process colours), 3mm bleed, cut and trim marks, fold and crease lines, correct file exportation in a PDFx1a, font embedding, links and images and so on.
Section 1: Setting Up Your Document for Print
Section 2: Bleed and Trim Marks Explained
Section 3: Dielines for Packaging design
Section 4: Exporting Your File for Print
Steps for Preparing Print-Ready Files:
1. Set up the document with the correct dimensions in mm and not pixels
2. 300DPI resolution
3. CMYK colour mode
4. 3mm bleed
5. Add trim marks and fold lines as per the packaging dieline.
6. Convert text to outlines or embed fonts to avoid issues.
7. Ensure all layers are neatly organised
8. Save the file in a preferred format (PDF/X is standard for print)
This video is filled with lots of little pieces of graphic design advice. These are some simple but important tips and simple tools to improve your graphic design skills and product packaging design.
