Printing requires either CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Key) or Pantone (PMS) spot colors. The colors that you see on your display are RGB (Red, Green, and Blue) color, so it’s important to convert color mode to ensure color reproduction.
The CMYK stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Key.
It is recommended to use CMYK when you are working with multiple-color artwork or if you have an image in your artwork.
The Pantone PMS is a color-matching scheme used to print accurate colors.
It is recommended to use Pantone (PMS) when working with solid backgrounds or artwork consisting of a singular color.

The resolution in artwork for packaging typically depends on the printing method used. Always consult with your printer for specific requirements, as large-format printing or specialty materials may require different specifications. The resolution should be set at the beginning of the design process.
The resolution of your artwork matters when it comes to the quality.
Resolution: Any less than 72 dpi or 72 dpi will cause your artwork to be blurry and is more suitable for digital displays. Therefore, files with 72 dpi or less cannot be printed.
It is recommended to have at least 300 dpi for printing artwork.
For most high-quality digital or offset printing, a resolution of 300 DPI (Dots Per Inch) is the standard, and you may use higher resolution. This ensures that the artwork appears crisp and clean when printed.
For packaging artwork, the preferred file formats are usually vector-based. You can either use Adobe Illustrator or any other online tool like Canva to create your artwork files. Please consult with our design support before further processing.
