Key takeaways
- Provide vector artwork and specify pantones or CMYK expectations
- Adhesive, material, and application surface belong in the RFQ
- Ask about proofs (soft proof vs physical) before bulk
- Reorder lead times can differ from first-order setup times
Common print scopes
Product labels, sleeve wraps, cartons, leaflets, and point-of-sale print each need different substrates and finishing. Die-cutting and variable data add their own setup costs.
Files and specs that help
Share final size, bleed, safe areas, material, finish, quantity, roll vs sheet supply, and application method (hand apply vs machine).
If labels contact food or chemicals, state that so material suitability can be discussed — seek specialist advice for regulated uses.
