For CD, DVD, Blu-Ray, cassettes, vinyl records, and more
We have dozens of templates for different physical media packages, divided into different categories. We have dies ready for all these items so we can quote, print, and ship most of these items in under 2 weeks. The cardboard items can sometimes take a few days longer.
We require PRINT-READY files (ie no transparency effects, export as PDF/X-1A for printing).
Artwork for print must be a resolution of at least 300 pixels per inch and in CMYK.
All paper print items require a bleed of 1/8" (approx 3mm) unless noted.
Always leave a safety margin of 1/8" from the edge of the paper to important text or visuals -
otherwise there is a risk of it getting cut off.
Note for Photoshop users: When you import a PDF please
select 'Crop' to 'Bleed Box'.
Place your artwork in a separate layer.
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR ALL
CUSTOMERS: All print packaging orders should include text that reads 'Made in
Canada' or 'Manufactured in
Canada' on the exterior of the artwork in order to safely cross the border. The country
of origin
should be declared on the artwork otherwise you run the risk of the package
being held
at the border or returned to the manufacturer. This is the law in the United
States, Canada, and many other countries. Moreover, any big box retailer will
refuse to stock a product that doesn't have a country of origin clearly marked
on the package. More information can be read in our blog post.
Vector images of a 'Made in Canada' logo can be downloaded
here.
We can customize your print project to your liking! Our
printing press is capable of adding effects such as embossing, lamination, color foil,
debossing, pantone matching, and more! Take a look
at our gallery, and don't hesitate to email
us with any questions.
Please contact us by email, phone, this form or the chat widget for any custom quotes. We can quote you a price on doing just the print, or the full project including the disc, packaging, and fulfillment.
Graphic arts and prepress preparation are very complicated processes requiring a lot of knowledge and skill. We take no responsibility for any misunderstanding or errors you may make in trying to "do-it-yourself". We suggest hiring a competent graphic design firm to create your artwork. Computer files and films must be made exactly to the proper specification or else they may have to be redone. We would be pleased to work with your graphic artist to expedite the printing process - but we disclaim all responsibility for files made out of spec due to misunderstandings you, your graphic artist, or we may make. Please supply colour printouts of your artwork.
