 Tips for Sending other File Types:

            CorelDraw – convert fonts to curves and save files as Adobe Illustrator
            CAD Files – (.dwg, .dxf)  - explode the text prior to saving

Sending Files to Label-Aid:

Files may be sent via CD or attached to E-Mail.  If you have really large files we will set you up with a login to our FTP site.  Please include all “linked” images such as logos and graphics that are not embedded.  Please contact our customer service department for specifics on sending us art  work.

Color Matching:

Pantone matching system:  we will match any PMS color you specify; custom color matching; we can match an existing printed label, overlay or surface color

Color accuracy will be established and maintained using a spectrophotometer.
