With regard to artwork, you can provide your own artwork (see following paragraph) or use one of our Seed Paper Australia Images from our library. We are able to change the font and colours to suit your logo / theme for any Category 1 images.
Find following some points to keep in mind when providing customised artwork for printing on our seed paper.
- Each sheet of seeded paper is individually handmade and contains live seeds. Sometimes there is a slight variation in the thickness and placement of the seeds in each sheet.
- To get the best results when printing we recommend the following when designing your artwork:
- A margin of 3mm from all edges of the card to print to. If you are considering printing to the edge, please let us know as we will need to charge a surcharge depending on the size of your design and the number of edges you are printing to.
- If your design prints to the edge, include a 3mm bleed. Ensure your artwork design is extended into the bleed area to avoid any white areas showing on the edges after cards are trimmed.
- As seed paper can move slightly when printing and cutting, trimmed products may not always be perfectly aligned. Borders that closely follow the edges should be avoided.
- Simple artwork that requires minimal ink coverage is best. Too much ink will affect the viability of the seeds. Up to 40% coverage is best. If printing with large ink coverage, additional fees are applicable.
- The paper is quiet porous and therefore not recommended for printing photographs onto.
- Please provide your artwork in CMYK colours.
- Please forward font files or embed your text into your artwork.
- Select a porous paper type in your artwork setup.
- Don’t forget to include seed type and some growing instructions! Planting Instructions can be amended to suit your requirements and style.
- Final artwork can be sent in a PDF, eps or ai format (please retain editing capabilities).
