Read the guideUse the library in three stages
1. Define the job
Decide whether the tag needs to identify a product, carry price or care information, support a promotion, provide traceability, or add a presentation detail. That purpose determines the usable size and information hierarchy.
2. Build the specification
Choose a format, card direction, print sides, hole position and attachment that work together. Consider how the tag will hang, be handled and be removed—not only how it appears in a flat artwork file.
3. Preflight the artwork
Check bleed, safe area, colour mode, image resolution, fonts, codes and any separate foil or varnish layer. A final preflight helps prevent avoidable proof changes and protects the production schedule.
