If you need some help with setting up your artwork then our in-house design studio is here for you. We offer 5 different Tier levels of artwork help so that you can bring your pack to life.

Tier 1 is our standard artwork level where you supply the artwork yourself which is also fitted to our templates. This requires no help or alterations from our Studio, apart from general checks during digital proofing.

Tier 2 includes help making your artwork Print-Ready for our Production Team. This is a great help is you're looking to add extras like Metallic ink or foiling but you're unsure how to set this up on your files. Our in-house designers will contact you about what assistance you need and they'll consult you every step of the way. To ensure you're happy with all the artwork before printing, we'll also send over digital proofs of every component.

Tier 3 is known as our full artwork setup. We request any content (text or images etc) that you'd like on your cards to be sent over to us and some examples of how you'd like them to be presented. Before we make up all of your components, we'll send over an example of each item so that you can see how your artwork will look. Once approved, we will make up every single component in your order accordingly and then send over digital proofs as final confirmation that you're happy to proceed to print.

Tier 4 includes a 1-on-1 session with one of our graphic designers to dicuss your pack. We can create bespoke graphics and illustrations according to your ideas and we'll also set up your artwork so that it is Print-Ready. All content (text) will still need to be supplied by you, but we will set this up on the artwork accordingly.

Tier 5 is a step up from our Tier 4 service, but we also offer the addition of Game Concept Testing. We'll discuss your game concept with you and then test it ourselves to make sure that your pack works exactly how you expect it to. A great and simple way for you to get your pack market ready.
