| Sizes | | Full Bleed Size | The Artwork Size must be the same as Printing Area (final trim size).
On the marking template, the blue line marks the marking area and its position in relation to the casing. The tolerance of the marking area position in relation to the casing is ±1 mm.
| | Bleed | | The marking artwork does not need bleed. | | Additional Tips | Download the marking template and place your graphics in the marking area, delineated with a blue line in the marking template. Designing frames, borders, etc. near the marking area is not recommended, because the tolerance of graphics application on the gadget is ±1 mm. If single-sided print is selected, the extra page must be removed from the template. Before saving the file for printing, remove all template components from your artwork.
If your gadget contains elements that would make printing/engraving difficult or impossible, they are marked in the template along with a green line outlining safe marking distance. |

| Graphics | | Colour Model |
- Objects for engraving should be designed in black (100% K).
- For CorelDraw, please disable the Colour Management option in the Tools menu, if available.
| | Text | | All text elements must be outlined. Text quality is perfect for chars not smaller than 4 point. | | Bitmap graphics | Objects for engraving can be designed both in vector (with fill) and black and white bitmap format. The recommended resolution for bitmaps is 300 dpi.
Greyscale cannot be used. Therefore, to achieve the semblance of grey tones, the extent of black fill must be modified.
The minimum thickness of engraved lines is 0.2 mm. |
