    Artwork for a specific piece

    A label drawn to the actual die.

    Label artwork is laid against the real container and die, accounting for wrap, seams, bleed and the stock beneath the ink, so the label that arrives fits the bottle, jar or tin it was made for.

    Five colours + halftone → Three spot plates

    Five colours butted edge to edge would have shown white at every join. Rebuilt as three spot plates with a screen doing the work, the joins are deliberate and the coral is identical on every reprint.

    How it runs

    Four steps, each one on paper.

    1. 01

      Start with the real piece

      Send the container, or its exact dimensions, and the die if one exists. We measure the wrap before layout.

    2. 02

      See it on the stock

      The label shown on the container at actual size, with the seam and stock visible.

    3. 03

      Refine and resolve

      One chosen direction is refined against your feedback and the limits of the selected process.

    4. 04

      Receive the production files

      Outlined vector masters, process separations and a spec sheet naming what the press needs to hold.

    Is this the right service?

    When you need this. When you don't.

    Production standards

    The details that matter here.

    Clean die-cut edge

    Bleed around the die

    Carry colour beyond the cut line and keep important type inside its safety margin.

    A gap at the seam

    A wrap label needs a planned overlap or gap; measure the actual container, not a flat screen mockup.

    Questions before we start.

    Can you design a range of labels across SKUs?

    Yes. We build one master and set each variant against it, so colour and type stay consistent across the range. Quoted per SKU.

    Do I need a white underprint?

    On clear or metallic stock, yes, wherever the colour needs to read as opaque. We draw it as its own separation.

    Do I own the finished files?

    Yes. The approved artwork and its production files are yours. Fonts licensed from others remain subject to their licence.
