Ideal for temporary campaigns, our Toblerone signs can provide your space with valuable marketing opportunities for small businesses or can be used to raise awareness of charitable causes and upcoming events in your local area. Toblerone signs are even useful as boundaries for temporary pathways and directional signs for fun runs and charity walks.

• Artwork Information

  Our artwork specifications

  Sending artwork the right way can help speed up your order, and also helps avoid any unexpected problems with your print. When uploading a file please consider the following.

  Colour. Files are best sent in CMYK colour, sending a file in a different colour format can result in colours not coming out as expected when sent to print.

  What is CMYK? This simply refers to the primary colours used to mix and create all the colours you see in your print. We use Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and black inks in our digital printers. If your file is sent using a different mix of colours, such as RGB for example, we will need to convert your artwork. When we do this, colours can change in your artwork and not come out as expected.

  Size and scale. Files are best sent to the size you’d be looking to have your print produced, or they can also be sent to a smaller or larger scale of the size you’re looking to have your print produced.

  Why does size matter in a digital file? When a digital file is produced in design software, you can set it and export to a specific size. This size in the digital space translates directly to how large your artwork file is in real life. A common issue is trying to print a file that is small, for example A4 (210 x 297mm) in size and trying to print it much larger at A0 (841 x 1189mm). When increasing an image in size, certain elements can start to become pixelated or appear blurry. As such it is always best to create and save your file at the final size, you’ll be able to see accurately how your print quality will look before sending it through to print.

  What is scale? When resizing an artwork file, keeping it in scale means increasing or decreasing the size without stretching or distorting the artwork in any way. As such it is important to make sure your artwork will scale up if not being sent to size of. Otherwise, we may need to crop or stretch your artwork to ensure it fits your size requirements.

  File Types. Our preferred file format is a PDF or a high-quality Jpeg file. We can also accept other bitmap file types.

  Crop marks, bleed and cut paths. We would advise between 3mm to 5mm bleed if being included on an artwork. Bleed isn’t 100% required on boards that are straight cut but would be needed on any items that are cut to shape. If using crop marks to indicate the finished size, please ensure they are correctly placed as we will use these when cutting out your artwork. For items that are cut to shape please provide your artwork with a vector cutting guide.

  What is bleed? Bleed is a part of the artwork that extends outside of the finished size. The bleed area will be cut off in the finishing process. This makes cutting easier and helps ensure that your print isn’t left with any unwanted white edges.

  What is a cut path? For cut to shape prints we use a CNC cutting machine which requires a vector cutting guide. Our machine uses this path to cut out your print exactly as needed. This file would be required in a vector format in a PDF file, we wouldn’t be able to use a cut path that has been provided as a bitmap file. We can help set up cut paths if you’re unable to, this would be subject to an artwork and set up fee if required.

  Rounded fonts and outlines. Any PDFs containing fonts and outlines should be rounded and converted to curves. When left unconverted we can encounter issues when trying to set up artworks, such as missing fonts or issues with rescaling artwork files.

  What is a rounded font? When a font is used in an artwork and saved as a PDF, the file will keep this data. This means if you were to import the file back into design software you will be able to edit the text freely. The issue this can cause however, is that if we don’t have the same font file our software will try and replace it with another font. A rounded font simply means it has been converted into a curve, it will no longer be editable, but it will mean your font won’t suddenly change unexpectedly.

  What is an outline? An outline in a design file is a vector line that can be assigned a certain stroke width. An outline can be resized, however the size of the line itself will change but the width of the stroke will remain the same. This can cause issues with artworks and can cause unexpected changes. Once converted to a curve this will turn the line into a shape, allowing it to be resized freely and will maintain the same shape and width.
