HOW TO CORRECTLY PREPARE VOUCHER ARTWORK.

Important

1. The vital elements of your artwork MUST within the Safe Zone and at least 5mm away from perforation life.
2. For Book Type it is compulsory to have a minimum of 22mm, for stitching purpose.
3. You may DELETE or ADD the number of perforation lines in Product Size Template according to your requirement.
4. The minimum gap between any two perforation lines MUST BE 45mm.
5. Expand your background design to the edge of Full Bleed.
6. When converting artwork to PDF format, delete all guidelines in the Product Size Template EXCEPT for the numbering format and the perforation lines required.

NUMBERING

1. Mark your numbering area by using the numbering format given in the Product Size Templates.
2. Numbering will be printed in RED colour. Dark coloured background will cause the numbering to become invisible.
3. You will only have to key-in the actual numbering during the ordering process. The last digit must always begin with 1.
   Examples : 00001 00101 00501 03001 
4. To indicate numbering in your artwork. Please use the dummy numbering provided in the product size template.
5. If you require less than the default 7 digits (represented by Xs in green), please DELETE the excess Xs accordingly.
   Examples : 0001 – XXXX 00101 – XXXXX 000001 – XXXXXX
6. Numbering can be placed in different areas for each panel.
7. Maximum 1 numbering in a perforation panel.
8. You need to apply the same numbering on all panels.
9. For Loose/Pad Type, you can only choose to either have all panels with numbering or all panels without numbering.
10. For Book Type, you can choose to have all panels with numbering, all panels without numbering or 1st panel without numbering option.
11. Numbering and numbering minimum gap is 45mm.
12. Ensure your numbering format is:
    – within Safe Zone
    – at least 7mm away from Full Bleed edge
    – at least 12mm away from perforation line (if applicable)
13. DELETE entire numbering format if you do not require it.
