Artwork Tips

To ensure optimal print quality for your Kraft Paper Labels opt for a white backup layer for elements that you want to really pop on the Kraft brown material. Especially lighter-colored elements without a white backup will change in appearance due to the color of the material.

Make sure the elements that you want the kraft material to show through have a transparent background in place, or use a fully vectorized file and leave notes in the Special Instructions field on how you would like the kraft paper effect to show.
