Our 50MB disc laser labels measure 83.5mm x 57.5mm, although we recommend having a 4mm bleed around all edges of the label, including the central cut. The label that you design should therefore be 91.5mm x 65.5mm and produced at a resolution of 600dpi (dots per inch) for best results. If you are creating a basic canvas in an image editing program then your canvas should measure 2162 x 1547 pixels for a 600dpi image. Images should be exported as a 100% JPEG or TIFF image in either CMYK or RGB for best results.

For Silk Screen printing we use a 45MB CDROM card and the artwork is printed directly onto the surface of the card. Also known as serigraphy, involving the use of stencils to transfer the design. Paint is applied to a silk or nylon screen and penetrates areas of the screen not blocked by the stencil. By using several stencils a number of colours may be employed in a single print.

The discs themselves are pressed rather than burnt by laser and so they cannot be supplied as blank CDs for you to burn your own content onto. The files for the discs must be included at the same time as printing.

Our 45MB CDROM discs measure 86mm x 60mm, although the artwork should measure 84mm x 58mm and should be produced at a resolution of 300dpi using CMYK colour separation.

Please make sure that font sizes are no smaller than 6pt and please either supply the font files of the fonts used, or convert them to outlines.

The artwork should preferably be supplied as a Photoshop PSD file.

Please do not place background images in keyline layer.
