We have created templates for the major design applications available. These are set-up with precisely the correct dimensions and are set at the correct dpi resolution. They also include a 3mm bleed area, where appropriate, so that when cutting down there is no danger of a white non-printed border being cut along the edges. All the packaging templates will work equally as well for CD or DVD either replicated or duplicated.

How to use the templates

Click on the links on the right of the tables to download the relevant templates from the table below and then move / develop your designs in them.

	Please create a new layer above template before placing artwork.
	All images must extend to the Bleed Line. Please be aware that the artwork will be cut along the Cut Line. All text and vital information should be kept within 5mm of the Cut Lines.
	All supporting files must be at 300 DPI resolution and must be in either Gray scale or CMYK.
	Preferred File formats are PDF, EPS, TIFF and JPEG.
	If precise Colour matching is require please let us know the Pantone colours needed or/and send us a sample to match to.
	Please contact us, if you have any questions or if a template is not showing. rowan@amstore.co.nz - Auckland graphics@amstore.co.nz - Wellington
