By watching the above video, you can get a full overview of how we need an artwork with multiple kinds setup. For a rundown also see below.
How We Give You More Margin
In order to give you more margin, we need to keep our costs low. So, we have instigated a fully automated prepress department. That means when your job hits our production system, then it automatically flows through production. This is especially common on jobs relating to posters, Corflute® signs, foamed pvc boards and more.
In order to instigate this, we need artwork coming through a certain way and to our specs. In the past we have found even with a manual prepress method, the ways certain customers supply files can be quite confusing.
For Single Artwork
For Single artwork jobs, this is pretty straightforward. Just have a single PDF File. At the end of your file name have ….QTY [number].pdf
For Multiple Artwork With The Same Quantities
For jobs where you have multiple kinds with the same amount of kinds per artwork. We would require a multi-page PDF with 1 of each artwork in the PDF file. Our software will detect the amount of kinds and run the correct amount of each.
Also please name your file with: [FILE NAME] [NO. OF KINDS] [HOW MANY OF EACH] [TOTAL].pdf
For Example Artwork – 10 kinds – 10 of each – 100 total.pdf
For A Different Quantity Of Kinds
This is where it gets a little tricky. When you have a job with a different amount of kinds, we either need:
-A multi-page PDF with each page being a print. So if there are 200 total split uneven across 5 artworks, we would need a 200 page PDF with the artworks repeated for each print which is needed.
-The job put in multiple parts following the above rules
