To meet the requirements for your artwork, follow these steps:

1. Artwork Preparation:

2. Color Mode:

• CMYK:
  • Set the color mode of your document to CMYK to ensure accurate color reproduction during printing.

• Convert Text to Paths:
  • Convert all text in your document to paths (outlines) to avoid font issues during printing.

4. Correct Dimensions:

• Document Size:
  • Set your document size to the final dimensions of the printed artwork, plus the bleed. For example, if the final size is 100mm x 150mm, your document size should be 104mm x 154mm (to include the 2.0mm bleed on all sides).

5. Export to PDF:

• PDF Format:
