Designed for Reuse
Tin packaging goes beyond
single use. After the original product is consumed, tins can be easily cleaned
and refilled, or repurposed for storage and organization. This encourages a
culture of reusability, helping to extend the life of the packaging and reduce
the overall environmental impact.
By choosing reusable tin packaging, you're not just reducing waste, you're supporting a more sustainable, circular lifestyle.
Custom artwork preparation
If you are about to prepare art work for the printing of your bespoke tin, the following information will help you with you with the many questions you may have.
Of course feel free to contact us if you require any clarification.
- Make sure you have received from us an up to date template/cut guide. The cut guide shows the areas of the tin that will be visible once the tin is formed. The art should be extended 2-3mm beyond the cut guide to allow for any adjustments that need to be made by the printer.
- Art should be saved as an ai file or in Photoshop (PSD) and DPI should be a min of 300.
- When sending an art file it is also important to send a PDF file at the same time for viewing only, this gives us a better idea of what you are trying to achieve.
- Art developed should be separated into no more than 30 layers.
a) If part of the design is to be printed metallic please separately save a white layer. We will then know areas outside of the white are to be printed metallic.
b) If the finish is a two tone finish (satin) the gloss will coat over the entire design and the matt will be printed in the required areas so the matt print area should be saved as a separate file.
c) If you are embossing an area again this should be saved in a separate layer.
d) Re embossing, the thinnest line can be no less than 0.6mm if the embossing follows a design but can be 0.3mm if it is a blind emboss.
e) Embossing needs to be set at least 5mm from the top and bottom of the tin design area and 5mm from the left and right seam areas (these areas are shown on the cut guide).
NOTE: you cannot emboss on the body of a drawn base tin.
f) If the background colour of a design is plain, please save this as a separate layer. Thus if adjustments to images need to be made we do not need to make adjustments to the background colour or vice versa.
g) If design has special colours please save each on a separate layer and advise matching pantone colour.
- Art must be saved as CMYK and not RGB
- All wording needs to be in outline, if art is being sent as an ai please save as a separate file. If art is being sent as a PSD file and has wording, please create the wording by illustrator and save as a separate file.
- Font thickness to be min 0.1mm. Font size to be min 1.6mm
- Wording in a colour should be made from no more than 2 of the 4 colour process colours. This is because word lines are thin and thus any printing slightly off centre will be visible, wording will look blurred.
- Wording in black, please make it from 100% K
- Artwork images to be saved at 100% of the size.
