FROM YOUR SCREEN TO THEIR HANDS
Your artwork, made for a physical release. From Adelaide to projects across Australia, we’ve helped bring the details together since 2000. Start with a metric PDF, then bring your finished files into your project.

KNOW WHAT GOES WHERE
Understand bleed, disc masks, booklet spreads and case spines, or compare packaging before choosing your template.
02 / PREPARE YOUR FILES
Your template is the starting point. These checks help your files reach production with fewer changes.
Import page 2 into your design app at 100%. Paper artwork pages include 3 mm bleed on every side. Set your document units to millimetres; export the artwork page only.
Extend background colours and images to the outer bleed edge. Keep important text and logos at least 3 mm inside paper trim and away from folds. Centre narrow spine text and confirm the stock.
Use images at 300 ppi at their final size. Use CMYK for full-colour print, or the agreed spot colours. Embed fonts or outline a copy and preserve your editable original.
Disc PDFs show 117 mm outer and 21 / 33 / 36 mm hub references from Grafxar’s existing specifications. The selected stock and print method determine the actual printable mask. Confirm it with Grafxar; disc faces do not use paper bleed.
Remove guides from the exported artwork. Add a download link to the final PDF and your production master in the project dashboard. Grafxar checks the files and confirms approval before production.
