CD and DVD Insert Printing Specifications
Download
these guides for your artwork. These guides will ensure that
your art conforms to our size specifications, and you'll get
a preview of what your final product will look like.
Note:
These templates are for guide purposes only, please do not flatten template lines
into your artwork.
For
CD faces, do not include the center circle in the artwork. This is for positioning
purposes only and should not be included in your final artwork.
Note: JPEG
and PDF are not full print resolution. They are not to be used as a template,
but rather as a guide for dimension purposes only.

Requirements:
Use
our templates
Allow
proper bleed (1/8").

(or PMS if applicable).
Check
that documents are correct size, with crop and fold marks.
Do not include
center knockouts in your CD/DVD artwork. Allow the artwork to go into this area.
These
templates are designed as guides, do not flatten the guidelines into the artwork.

the guides to set your content, but do not clip the artwork into the shape of
