ARTWORK & SPECIFICATIONS
A clear brief.
A better start.
Bring what you know.
We’ll help with the details.
You do not need a finished design or a complete film specification to start a conversation. Begin with your product, your production plan and your timing.
START SIMPLE. ADD DETAIL AS YOU GO.
What to prepare.
Share the information you have. We’ll identify what needs to be confirmed before production.
Equipment & Film
- Machine make/model or co-packer contact details when appropriate.
- Current film specification or a sample, if available.
- Web width, repeat length, core size and maximum roll diameter, if known.
- Existing sealing, feeding or registration issues to review.
Design & Finish
- Your current artwork stage and number of designs.
- Existing dieline or layout, if available.
- Color references and preferred finish.
- Barcode, variable-code area and any special placement needs.
DOWNLOADABLE ARTWORK RESOURCE
Start your design
with a clear layout.
38 × 152 mm stick pack.
Download a layout based on our 38 mm single-lane tooling drawing, showing the front panel, back panels and seal allowances. Use it to plan your design, then request the layout confirmed for your filling line.
- Finished pack
- 38 mm wide × 152 mm long
- Example flat film
- 86 mm wide · single lane · 5 mm edge allowances
- Included
- One-page PDF: 1:1 artwork layout; editable SVG. Confirm the final tooling profile with Encap.
Read the seal profile. The source drawing specifies a 152 mm layout length, two 5 mm edge allowances and a 10 mm bottom seal. The shaped top seal reaches 18 mm deep; the yellow band is a conservative keep-clear area, not its exact footprint. See PDF page 3 for the tooling profile. The 3 mm text inset is suggested; confirm registration and unwind before printing.

BEFORE YOU FINALIZE THE DESIGN
Fit the artwork
to the production plan.
Confirm the layout before adapting every design.
A finished stick pack and the flat film web have different dimensions. Share your equipment requirements or current film drawing so we can review the correct layout together.
Layout, seals & registration
Confirm web width, repeat length, seal areas, print orientation and registration-mark requirements for the selected line. Keep critical text and graphics within the agreed safe area. Bleed and tolerances are confirmed with the production layout.
Artwork files & color references
Keep editable source artwork, linked images and font information available. Include a PDF for visual reference. We’ll confirm the required production file format, color setup and any white-ink or finish layers for your project.
Product copy, barcodes & coding areas
Review your final product text and barcode information with your team. Tell us where lot/date coding will be applied. Barcode size, placement and readability should be checked on the agreed layout and production samples.
Material performance & documentation
Share your product’s storage conditions, intended shelf life and filling process, along with your quality team’s documentation needs. Material structure and performance requirements are reviewed for the application.
