At ProCopy we have in house graphics people to prepare artwork for a variety of different styles of CD and DVD packaging. We also find that a lot of customers like to design and create their own artwork for their cd or dvd so we have a number of tips to help ensure that the best results will be obtained on the finished product. We’d always recommend using a design service as you will save time in the long run and we can always help in locating creative and professional graphics design companies that can interpret your ideas and provide us with the necessary print ready files in the correct formats.
The following tips will help your next project go smoothly:
- 1. Use high-resolution images and photos
- 2. Allow sufficient ‘bleed’ around the paper part artwork
- 3. Do not put text too close to die lines
- 4. Ensure fonts are not Missing or corrupt in the artwork files
- 5. Use templates suitable for the type of packaging you are using
- 6. Do not start the artwork in the wrong colour mode
- 7. Allow for correct Colour matching
- 8. Color matching betweenOn-Disc and booklets
- 9. Silkscreen vs Offset printing ondisc can affect print quality
- 10. Before printing allow enough time to proof and check the artwork

We can now supply a variety of products with plantation pulp and recycled paper material whenever you require eco friendly cd or dvd printing. However bear in mind that the various combinations of recycled components and plantation paper products that you can choose from will vary the colours and affect the end result. We can show you examples of the excellent print quality from this type of stock.
Digipack style packaging requires some additional thought about how the finished article will be presented and it’s best to discuss the specific artwork requirements for digi-packs with us. To ensure longevity of the print surface we often recommend a matt or gloss laminate (like a lacquer coating over the finished artwork) This will help prevent undue wear, scuff marks or fingerprints.You can see the typical configurations of CD and DVD digipacks in our cardsleeve picture gallery here.
Finally if you are incorporating a barcode in to your booklet artwork then there are minimum size requirements and a limited range of colours that you can use, we can advise you when we issue your barcode number for your CD or DVD project.
