You will be asked to create a "Spot color" only for specific products when the file must contain additional information (not to be printed).
Spot colors are not printable colors: they are needed to perform some other actions on the product, such as a personalized shape cut or a special finish.
To create a print-ready file, we recommend downloading the instruction document available at step 3 on the product page to create a correct file.
Please note that the Designer tool is not available to create files with spot colors, however, our design team is always available to provide support: find out here how our Design Services work.
To create a spot color, please follow these steps:
- Download the instructions to follow step-by-step directions on Adobe Illustrator
-
Create a dedicated layer, named as requested in the instructions
- Create a new color swatch from the swatches panel
- Follow the name recommendation requested in the instructions: use upper and lowercase letters as shown
CutContour white Finishing
- Select "Spot Color" as color type
- Assign the CMYK percentages requested in the instructions
- Use the spot color created only to identify the path or fill the vector elements for the desired areas
- Don't use the same colors available in the template as "spot colors" to create the elements you want to print: keep in mind that these are spot colors and therefore not printable
