Can I change the size of my labels?
Yes and no. We offer standard sizes is our dropdown menu to save time for rectangle and square labels. However, if
you have a custom size, simply click the check box next to dimensions
and manually type your own. The same rule applies to quantities, you can
select or manually enter amounts. Circle label sizes are set sizes, these can not be changed. This is because they are pre-cut to shape and size.
Do you have a design template for labels?Yes we do! Our custom made design layout application allows you to create a design quickly and easily using our free pre-made templates. Access thousands of free professional images from Unsplash, custom shapes, fonts and icons all within the app. Personalise your design by uploading your own images, logos, fonts, icons, colours and format text using our application tools. Once you have finished designing, save and export your design directly into our print production for free.

Are your adhesive labels recycled?
No, unfortunately there are
no recycled labels available for commercial printing in Australia.
Envirocare labels were discontinued in Australia a number of years ago
as they were substantially more expensive than alternative labels. We
bought the very last supply of this stock which has now run out. The
next best thing which we now buy is paper labels made from well managed
forest pulp.
Do you have clear adhesive labels?No, clear adhesive labels are made from synthetic materials, we only use paper based products that are recyclable.
Can you print adhesive labels on a roll?No,
we do not have the equipment to print adhesive labels on rolls. Our
circle stickers are pre-cut on A4 sheets and overprinted. This is the
most affordable way to go rather than kiss cutting each order. Our
square and rectangle stickers are printed together on large sheets and
cut to size. These large sheets have slits in the backing sheet every
50mm to allow for easy peeling.
How should I supply artwork?For
square and rectangle stickers, please supply as a press ready PDF with a
minimum of 3mm bleed and crop lines. For circle stickers please design
them as though they are square stickers, ie make any areas of bleed
extend past the crop lines as a square, do not crop the bleed to a
circle. We advise adding a circle line layer when designing to see how
your artwork looks in a circle, but then delete or hide this layer prior
to creating your press ready PDF with bleed and crop lines. Download
our artwork specifications from
www.printtogether.com.au/pdf/Art-Specs.pdf to see how you need to prepare and output files ready to print. Or you can use our free design templates which will automatically be prepared correctly for print - no stress for you!
What size adhesive labels do you do?For
square and rectangle adhesive labels we can print and trim any size
from 30mm x 30mm up to 430mm x 300mm. Simply enter your dimensions into
our online quote builder to see instant prices. For circle adhesive
labels we offer pre-cut 25mm, 32mm, 45mm, 60, and 90mm all supplied on
A4 sheets.
Can I do different sizes in one order?Unfortunately
not no. Prices are only given for one size. You can do multiple designs
of the same size, however if your adhesive labels are different
dimensions then these need to be processes as separate orders.
Can you print custom shape adhesive labels?No, we do not have the equipment to cut custom shape adhesive labels. We only provide rectangle, square or pre-cut circles.
Are your adhesive labels waterproof?No,
waterproof / freezer grade adhesive labels are made from synthetic
materials, we only use paper based products that are recyclable. The
closest we can do in this instance are gloss paper labels which are a
little more durable than matt labels.
Do you do removable adhesive labels?No, all of our adhesive labels are supplied with a permanent adhesive.
Can I print different designs within one sheet of circle adhesive labels?
Yes
this is possible, it just requires a little extra time in pre-press to
setup artwork ready for printing. Please contact us for a custom quote
in this instance.
Can I print a border on my adhesive labels
We
really don't recommend printing borders on adhesive labels. We have a
shift tolerance of 1mm for adhesive labels. This means prints can shift
in any direction during printing and trimming by up to 1mm. When borders
are printed this means some adhesive labels will look asymmetrical.
Can I have a sample print of my adhesive labels before going ahead with the full order?We
do not supply printed samples by default, we print directly from your
PDF files. If you would like a price for printing a test sample print
only, scroll to the very bottom of our quantity dropdown in our quote
builder and select ‘sample print’. The cost of a sample print is
basically all time for setup and finishing, plus postage. Unfortunately
it takes us as long to setup and trim one item as it does a whole pile.
Can I have a proof?We
do not supply proofs unless artwork amends are required prior to
printing, or you request one. We print directly from you press ready PDF files. For full
details of how to prepare and output files ready to print from Canva,
Crello, Adobe InDesign, Illustrator or Photoshop please download our
artwork specifications from
www.printtogether.com.au/pdf/Art-Specs.pdf Or you can use our free design templates which will automatically be prepared correctly for print - no stress for you!
Can I print split quantities for adhesive labels? For example 1 design x 250 and 2 designs x 500?
Yes
just press '+ Add another split quantity' in our quote builder. You can
add as many different quantity splits as required. Please also add the
quantity in your file names, so we know how many to print of each design
– eg Design-Name-1x250.pdf
What if I have more than 10 adhesive labels designs?You
can add additional designs by adding more split quantities. Just click
'+ Add another split quantity' in our quote builder. You can add as many
different kinds as required.
I have printed adhesive labels with you before, do you keep artwork on file?Yes
we keep all press ready artwork on file. If you have placed an order in
the last 5 years you should be able to login to your account with an
old quote or reference number and your email address and download any
artwork from previous orders. If your artwork isn't in your online
account, let us know and we will take a look in our archive for you.
Do you do foil printed adhesive labels?No, we do not offer foiling for a couple of reasons.
1. Foil makes it harder to recycled paper as the foil needs to be separated from the paper pulp.
2.
To get the best results with foil you need to foil stamp. This involves
having metal formes made and using these to stamp foil on to paper.
This adds a lot of cost to small runs of adhesive labels. Over the years
digital foil has grown in popularity with printers as it is a cheap and
fast alternative to foil stamping. In our opinion that is all it it is,
cheap and fast, it really doesn't look anywhere near as good a foil
stamping. Our goal is to make printing on recycled paper affordable, we
therefore have decided not to offer foiling.
Do you print adhesive labels with Pantone colours?No
we do not print adhesive labels using Pantone colours. All of our
adhesive labels are printed CMYK together on large sheets of paper and
then trimmed to size. In order to print using Pantone colours, we need
to print just your adhesive labels on their own and set the press up
with Pantone ink. This takes a lot of time in setup and therefore costs
substantially more than printing collectively with others CMYK.
I
have a PDF of an old adhesive label but I want to change the details on
it, can you do this or do I have to go back to my designer?In
most cases it will be quicker and cheaper to go back to your designer if
possible. Changing text in the master design file is very quick an easy
for a designer to do. If for some reason your designer can't do this,
we may be able to edit your PDF. This all depends how the artwork has
been setup and saved. If the text hasn't been converted to outlines and
we have the font used on file yes we can make changes. If the font has
been flattened or we don't have the font used then we will need to
replace the font with something similar in order to make changes. The
cost of us making these changes is dependent on what needs to be done.
We estimate layout costs after reviewing your files and requirements.
For more details please contact us.
Can I get a sample of the papers you offer?Absolutely, we
have a recycled paper sample pack that contains every paper we have
listed on this website. Sample packs costs $5, however this is refunded
when you place an order. Request a pack from here:
