Step 1

Ensure the file matches the product's required dimensions. Ensure that the artwork is created in CMYK 300 dpi with 1/16 inch bleeds on all sides.

Step 2

Make sure that all images are embedded, and that all the text is outlined.

Step 3

Export all files into PDF format with bleeds.

Important Instructions For best results, we strongly recommend you ensure the following to avoid delays and/or unexpected print results.

Supply fonts larger than 8pt
Use sans serif fonts
Please keep foil design away from creases, folds and edges
Avoid having artwork underneath the foil areas (i.e. using a mask instead)
Avoid areas of heavy foil coverage with small/fine (non-foil) text or linework knocked out, as there is a tendency for these to fill in.
CAUTION: Our foil machine manufacturer does not recommend extending the foil design to the trimmed edge of the card, as there would be a high possibility of the foil peeling off along the trimmed edges. There should be at least a 5mm foil-free area around the edges. If you supply foil files with full bleed, our automation will automatically apply a 5mm gap (from the trim edge) on your foil files to prevent the risks of the trimmed edges lifting/peeling. The non-foiled gap area may be visible along the edges as a result. It is best to avoid full bleed on your foil files for the above reasons.

Add More Space Between Letters
Metallic foil needs extra room to apply properly.
- Increase letter spacing (tracking) slightly
- For small text, a tracking of +20 to +50 works well
- Watch out for letters that sit very close together and space them out a bit
Choose the Right Font Size and Weight
Very thick or tiny text can cause problems with foil.
- Avoid ultra-bold or heavy fonts
- Use regular or medium font weights instead
- Keep foil text at least 7–8 pt for best results
Reduce Thick Letter Shapes
If your text looks tight or heavy:
- Add a very thin outline (stroke) inside each letter
- Set the outline color to match the background
- This slightly reduces the thickness of the letters, creating more space between them
Why this helps:
Metallic foil can spread during production. Thinning the letters prevents them from touching or filling in once foiled.
Allow for Foil Spread
Foil can spread slightly during production.
- Very small gaps may disappear
- Keep visible spaces between letters and shapes no thinner than 0.3–0.5 pt

Special Instructions

Please submit two PDF files:

Regular full color artwork
Metallic Foil template indicating the area of the Metallic Foil

On template file, indicate area of Metallic Foil by using 100% K. Non Foil areas should be white. For best results, ensure this file is vector.

If ordering a 4/4 job with Metallic Foil on only one side, please ensure that page 1 of your artwork is the Foil side.

Coverage Instructions

Enhance your product with our customizable foil coverage options. Foil coverage refers to the percentage of your product's surface area adorned with a captivating metallic finish. Choose from three options: 1-25%, 26-40%, and 41-75%. Select the coverage that suits your style, whether you prefer a subtle touch or a bold statement. Elevate your product with a touch of opulence and radiance by opting for the perfect foil coverage.

How To Set Up Your Files

Step-by-step instructions on margins and bleed.

Download our guides to ensure a more optimal print result.
Be sure to DELETE any hidden layers that are not intended to print (ie: setup guide layers or other hidden artwork layers) to ensure no risk of them appearing on the final print.
Each job (including multiple paged projects) must be submitted as a single PDF file. Ensure that all pages are the same size.
Files must be submitted with proper orientation to ensure proper back up. Please review the File Orientation Guides carefully in the File Prep tabs for your particular product.
It is best to try to avoid using borders in your design. If a border is too close to the trim, the trim may be slightly off-center.
File must consist of 1/8" bleed and all important art and text must be within the safety margin. The more safety margin the better (to avoid awkwardly close trims or having critical elements from getting cut off).
Ensure that your PDF is high res and that all images are CMYK at 300 DPI.
Black text/type should have the following values: C0, M0, Y0, K100.
Larger areas of black coverage should be C:30/M:20/Y:20/K:100 to get a deep richer black.
Embed or outline all fonts.
For best colour results, supply a CMYK only file (unless your product type specifically requires RGB color mode or specifically requires you to supply PMS colors).

Thin White Text on Rich Black Backgrounds

While SinaLite maintains strict quality standards, minor shifts in printing are possible. Thin or small white text knocked out from a rich black background is prone to printing issues, such as color bleeding, filling in, and poor readability due to slight misregistration. We recommend preparing files with the following tips in mind.

Use C30 M20 Y20 K100 for Rich Black
Use this recommended rich black formula to minimize oversaturation and registration problems. Avoid heavier CMYK builds like C60 M60 Y60 K100, which can increase color shift risks.
Thicken White Knockout Text
Increase the thickness of white text knockouts to prevent them from filling in or becoming unreadable.
- Recommended minimum line weight: 0.75pt
- Recommended minimum font size: 8pt
Apply Swelling
Swelling (slightly enlarging knockout areas) compensates for minor ink spread on the press. Slightly increasing the size of the white knockout text can help maintain crispness after printing.
