Look at you, jumping right into the design! Before you begin creating art, contact your sales rep or the graphics department to get the die template of your choice. All the die templates are provided in Adobe Illustrator.

• If using a Windows environment, convert all fonts to outlines, and visit this website: http://www.apple.com/getamac/
• Adobe Illustrator files only please
• Adobe Photoshop images should be linked in the die template in Illustrator
• Please keep Photoshop files layered so we can make adjustments if needed
• If InDesign files are received, we will convert them to Illustrator, and every effort will be made to accurately represent your design intentions
