ARTWORK PRODUCTION
Finished Art & Artwork Production
Need supplied artwork finished, adapted or prepared for production?
Existing artwork, templates, brand guidelines and supplied files can be developed, adapted or rebuilt into finished, production-ready artwork.
This can be:
-
Finished art and artwork amendments
-
Graphic Design
-
Artwork resizing and rollout
-
Multiple sizes, versions or variations
-
Adapting existing artwork to new formats
-
Rebuilding supplied artwork
-
Vector redraws
-
AI-generated logos and graphics converted to usable vector artwork
-
Exact redraws or modified/rebuilt versions where the original artwork needs improvement
-
Packaging artwork
-
Knife line creation and modification for packaging and die-cut products
The aim is simple: take production work off your desk and return files that are ready for the next stage.

PREPRESS SUPPORT
Prepress & File Fixing
Got a file that won’t pass prepress or has been rejected by the printer?
Supplied artwork can be checked for production issues, with problems identified, reported or corrected as required.
This can include:
-
Quick prepress checks
-
Printer-rejected file corrections
-
Bleed, trim and page size issues
-
Image resolution problems
-
Colour and output issues
-
Font and transparency problems
-
PDF corrections
-
Incorrect or problematic supplied artwork
-
General production troubleshooting
For printers, this can also mean taking customer-supplied artwork off your production team’s hands rather than using valuable production or prepress time fixing it internally.
