Templates:
Templates are available upon request
from the Art Department and
recommended to insure proper layout
and to avoid costly re-works. They
are available electronically in
Illustrator and/or in die vinyl
format.
Laser Separations:
If you know that the job is going to
be Pantone or spot colors, make sure
there are no other colors in your
file other than the colors that you
are using. Always
supply us with b/w laser separations
when submitting art. This will
insure that the file is prepared
properly and will avoid costly
re-works. Remember: If you
are unable to print laser
separations, we will encounter the
same problems.
Levels of printing :
Zenith offers a wide variety of
printing due to our vast product
line. The levels of printing that we
offer are primarily broken down by
product line. Separate sheets of
specifications are available for the
4 levels of printing.
Level A: High-end small
multi-wall square-bottom bags for
coffee, cookies, mixes, pet food,
etc.
Level B: Large multi-wall
square-bottom bags for tortilla
chips, fertilizer, etc.
Level C: All single-wall
square-bottom bags and all
pinch-bottom bags for sandwiches and
bread.
Level D: All sheets for
sandwich wrap and basket liners.
Trapping, Distortion, Screens:
Since we will output the negatives,
we will trap the file, set the
screens and compensations for dot
gains, and distort the file to
compensate for "plate gain" or
stretch. We do not recommend that
you supply negatives. If you are,
please contact our Art Department
for specifications. |
