How do I set up my design files for kraft printing?

Designing for kraft is mostly about accounting for the brown paper before you send the file, so what you see on screen matches what prints.

• Work in CMYK color mode
• Set your background to transparent, or match it to the kraft brown tone, so colors preview accurately
• Include the bleed amount listed on the product page
• Favor bold artwork and dark ink, which read clearly against the paper

Downloading the product template first gives you the exact trim, bleed, and safe-area guides for the size you are ordering.
