Faqs

I'm not too sure if my artwork is pre-ready?

Part of our standard procedure is to check if your supplied artwork meets our production guidelines. Our design team will let you know if there is anything missing.

How can I make the image resolution bigger?

To ensure the maximum print, the rule of thumb is – where possible, use vector images. Otherwise make sure all rasterised images are of 300ppi.

What happens when you convert RGB to CMYK?

There will slight differences in colour when the conversion is made, much more noticeable when printed. We advise that the colour intent is already supplied with the artwork in CMYK. Tip* Print the proof with any office/ home printer for a closer representation of final colours.

Can you print in white?

Unfortunately, we cannot print in white. What we can do is ‘knock out (not print anything on)’ areas that requires white. Do note, this means that the board colour has to be white in order for the colour to be white.

Can I get the exact colour I am after?

Your more then welcome to specify the CMYK colours you wish to use on the artwork. If there are particular colour used for branding, we suggest using pantone colour to keep consistency on print outcomes.

The printed colours don't look like what it was on screen

Depending on the surface that the prints are on, the colours will look different comparatively to when you see the proof on screen. Always be mindful of the colour and substrate of the board the print will be on. We offer printed proofs before production.

It has been a great experience to work with the Pakko team! They were thorough in guiding me with my design choices and the quality of the end-product was perfect for my point-of-sale needs. I will definitely be looking to Pakko for any future packaging endeavours!

Hunter Bui
Product developer

Sleeves arrived and look great! Thanks again for the added and extra efforts. Very much apprectiated!​

Tammy F.
Marketing Coordinator

Amazing patience and service for a small business starting; they never rushed me or made me feel like my job was too small or unimportant than larger clients. I was given genuine advice, and for that, I will always recommend PAKKO to anyone starting in business.

Elishea Mingovski
Business Owner

When searching for a company to fill my order I found that, because it was quite small, people were slow to get back to me and the prices were quite expensive. Pakko and Milly were so helpful in helping us find exactly what we needed. Thanks again.
