Artwork setup
Build graphics on the approved dieline with clear seal, fold and zipper allowances.
Printing & Finishes
Color, surface character, registration and production method should be planned around the structure, order profile and brand range.
Define the requirement before selecting the detail.
Each choice should be confirmed against product compatibility, filling, distribution and intended use.
Color direction
Define critical brand colors and how they should appear across materials and SKUs.
Surface finish
Review matte, gloss, metallic and selected tactile directions for the pack.
Move through the decisions in a clear sequence.
Printing is planned after format, size and functional areas are known.
Supply editable vector files, linked images and color references.
Check content, placement, dielines and production notes before approval.
Use agreed references and inspection checkpoints during printing and converting.
Prepare the information a buyer and converter need.
These inputs make comparisons clearer without turning an early discussion into an unsupported final specification.
Useful project scenarios
- New artwork and brand launches
- Multi-SKU color systems
- Matte, gloss, metallic or selected tactile directions
Approved dieline
Build artwork only after dimensions, seals, folds, gussets and feature positions are confirmed.
Color references
Identify critical brand colors and agree the production reference used for review.
Finish compatibility
Review finish direction with the substrate, print method, pouch conversion and handling.
Validation points
- Preflight editable artwork, linked images, fonts and overprint settings.
- Approve content, codes, direction and feature clearances before production.
- Compare production output with the agreed proof or physical reference.
Buyer questions
Will screen color match the printed pouch exactly?Screens are not a reliable physical color standard. Agree the proof and production reference appropriate to the project.
Can the same artwork file be used on every pouch size?Usually each size needs an approved dieline and layout review because seals, folds and printable areas change.
