# How do I set up my artwork for buttons?

Setting up button artwork follows the same rules as any print-ready file. The main thing to plan for is the safety area, since a button wraps around a curved edge. Keep important text and logos inside the safe zone so nothing gets cut off or lost on the wrap. Extend backgrounds and colors fully to the bleed so no white edge shows. Build files at full print resolution to keep small details crisp. Every button type follows normal print-ready guidelines. Only the safety area changes by product. Use the template for your specific button when laying out the design.
