And if we see some flaws, we will make minor revisions if necessary and it will be free of charge. But if your project requires major revisions (say, your artwork has very low resolution), we will send it back to you. To avoid delays, make sure your artwork has all the requirements listed below.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>RESOLUTION:<\/strong> The resolution must not be less than 300 dpi.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>FONTS:<\/strong> Make sure that everything is displayed in the correct fonts and sizes. And make sure you send us the fonts you\u2019re using\u00a0 as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>SPELLING, PUNCTUATION, GRAMMAR.<\/strong> CD manufacturing companies will not check the content. Make sure you\u2019ve proofread everything from the spelling to the punctuation marks.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>PAGINATION: <\/strong>Make sure page numbers and pagination are correct. You do not want to see an awkward-looking paragraph or an image sliced in two pages.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>COLOR:<\/strong> If the artwork is sent to you for approval via email, there is a big chance that the colors would look different from the actual print. A computer monitor displays color using RGB mode whereas physical print is either CMYK or pantone color. You might want to visit the CD manufacturing company to have a print sample after all the other revisions are made.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>TEMPLATE LAYERS:<\/strong> Make sure template layers are removed from uploaded designs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>BLEED:<\/strong> Bleed is the extension of artwork beyond the cut line which gives the printers a margin of error when trimming the sheets. Make sure your artwork has 1\/8-inch bleed on all sides.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>SAFETY MARGINS:<\/strong> Safety Margin are required to prevent cutting off some important parts of your artwork (text, images,logos). Make sure all essential elements are within the safety margins.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>ALIGNMENT:<\/strong> Make sure the alignment and spacing of the photos are correct. \u00a0Check whether they are aligned correctly with crop marks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>LOGOS:<\/strong> Make sure the all the logos are included and are placed correctly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>BAR CODE:<\/strong> Is it located on a viewable surface?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>______________________________________________________________<\/p>\n<p><strong>Unified Manufacturing<\/strong>\u00a0is an L.A. -based one-stop-shop that offers very affordable CD\/DVD\/USB replication, custom printing, promotional products, warehousing and fulfillment and many more.
