ART GUIDELINES |
BLEED
Provide 1/2" artwork beyond the printed area of
mechanical artwork.
CAMERA READY ART
Clean, color separated art, which is ready to be
turned into negatives. Xerox, Fax and Laser Copies
are not considered camera ready art.
DOT AND LINE GAIN
All printed pieces will experience 20-30% dot and/or
line gain. This means the print will get heavier,
reverse areas will fill in and screens will darken.
Allowances for "gain" should be made in the artwork.
COMPUTER DISKS
Aplasticbag.com does accept artwork on disk in the
following Macintosh Programs: Illustrator, Freehand
(Freehand files must be saved in .eps format), and
Quark. A hard copy of the file must be included with
the disk. Please include all fonts and placed images
used in the file. Please include a written
description of the disk. We accept 1.5 MB Disks and
44, 88, 200 MB SyQuest and Zip Disks. Files can be
set up half size, please indicate size file reduced
to fit.
GIFT WRAP ARTWORK
All gift wrap art should be set up to have a 15",
18", or 20" repeat top to bottom and also include a
side to side repeat as we will need to strip it to
accommodate different roll widths.
GUSSET ARTWORK
All gusset artwork should be done to the left side
of the front. Due to movement in printing and bag
conversion of the bags all artwork should be kept
1/4" from the edge of the bag. The front of the bag
should bleed 1/4" into the gusset.
NEGATIVES/PLATES
Aplasticbag.com prefers to make its own negatives
and plates. When supplying negatives as artwork they
should be Matte Finished, Right Reading, Emulsion
Up. Bonita does not accept film work on 4-color
process or projects with complex screening.
POSITIVE PRINTING
The minimum positive printing type size is 8 point
Helvetica bold and the minimum positive line width
is 1 point.
REGISTER MARKS
Register Marks should be centered on the face of the
art top to bottom and side to side. Cross-hair
register marks need to be used on all color
separated artwork.
REVERSE PRINTING
The minimum reverse printing type size is 12 point
Helvetica boldface and minimum line width is 2
point.
TRAP
When two or more colors need to appear like they
touch, an overprint of 1/16" (or 2 points) must be
used to prevent gaps in the printing. When trapping
colors to a rule the overprinting outline must be at
least 2.5 points in width to trap the colors.
SCREENS / HALFTONES / DUOTONES
At Aplasticbag.com all screens and solids are
printed on separate decks to prevent filling (and
are priced as separate colors). Line Screen
capabilities are determined by the project. We
recommend running solids whenever possible and must
approve all screen work prior to acceptance
of the order.
UPC CODES
UPC Codes should be supplied 110% magnification with
.004 bar width reduction. Printing UPC codes on dark
papers is not suggested. We recommend all UPC Codes
be printed in black. Printing UPC codes on a white
block may be necessary for scanning.
All type

All elements should be approved and checked to
ensure production readiness and selectively grouped
so future changes can be handled effectively.
