Artwork Requirements

We print what we receive so please make sure you send high quality print ready artwork. If you’re not 100% sure whether your artwork meets the minimum requirements, you have the option to pay for artwork verification, a printed proof and / or a physical sample.

Please only send PDF, JPEG, PNG or AI files.

There is a lot to think about when printing on Seed Paper. We always recommend you avoid block colours and stick to low ink designs. We generally advise that the design does not exceed 30% ink coverage. Whilst it is possible to print block colours, they will not only hide the natural appearance of seed paper but the ink also has a negative affect on the seeds, soil and germination rate plus the quality of the finish is not the best.

For best results we advise to keep your design simple, avoid large block colours by keeping backgrounds plain and utilising white space to show off the natural appearance of the paper. Let the paper do most of the talking. If we do notice any errors or experience any issues with the design, we will of course get in touch, however this is not a guarantee and it will slow down the production time of your order.

If you would like this guaranteed, we offer an artwork verification service, printed proof, and/or physical sample. Please note that we also offer an artwork/design service via our in-house design team, charged at ÂŁ40.00 + VAT per hour.

Tolerance

Orders can arrive 5% above or below the quantity ordered, orders may have up to 5mm tolerance of movement on the sheet / 5mm movement on cutting / trimming / stitching and any other finishing not listed here.

Liability

We are not liable for any financial loss incurred by you, including but not limited to expenses incurred by you, interest payments & loss of earnings, or similar gains you would have received on monies paid to us in lieu of any unfulfilled order. Nothing in these terms and conditions shall affect the rights of a consumer.

Payment Terms & Deposits

Irrespective of the agreed payment conditions, customers can be obliged to provide security for the payment of the amounts to be paid to the supplier pursuant to the contract, on the supplier’s first demand.
