PRINT & PRINT DESIGN

We suggest sending the artwork in at the same time as the audio, as the printing process takes around the same time as the cutting and processing.

This way, once you have approved the test pressings, everything else in already in place to ensure a faster turnaround time from test pressings to main run.

Once we receive the artwork, within 5 working days we will provide you with a digital proof (via email) of the finished label/sleeve. Once approved, the labels and/or sleeves will be printed and from this point there can be no alterations.

We provide a design service to assist your your artwork as well as taking care of all printed parts (labels, sleeves, stickers, flyers, posters etc), all at very competitive prices.

We can design artwork for you from your individual specs based on company logos, ideas etc so that you can get the most visually out of your release, as well as talk you though the different options for labels and sleeves help you plan not only the current release - but also future projects.

If you are a new label and intend on building a catalogue from one label, then having a printed house bag printed in a larger quantity (for example 2 - 3000) might be a better alternative. The charge is usually not more than the price of a blank white or black card sleeve and it means your releases stand out from the crown when on display in stores.

As with your audio, artwork files can be sent via www.sendspace.com and the preferred format is PSD, Photoshop or Quark with the catalogue number clearly marked.
