Can I use Canva to design my swing tags?
Yes,
Canva is a great online design tool. You can design your swing tags in
Canva and then export as a Press PDF and upload it on our website. To see full details of how to design swing tags in
Canva, download our artwork specifications here:

Do you offer circle swing tags?
No, we only supply square or
rectangle swing tags. However we do offer round corners as an optional
extra for all of our swing tags.
Can I have the drill hole where ever I like?Yes,
if you would like your hole in a specific location such as top center
or in one corner, please just also supply a drill hole guide PDF along
with your press ready PDF artwork. Also make sure the drill hole is at least 5mm away from the edge, and 5mm away from other text/images.
Do you have string to go with the swing tags?No, we only supply printed materials. We do not supply string or offer any threading service.
What is he difference between your 350gsm Economy and 350 Premium uncoated paper?The
paper in both of these instances is exactly the same. The difference is
how they are printed. Economy is printed on a conventional digital
printing press which gives a smoother satin look and feel to any printed
areas. Premium is printed on a HP Indigo printing press which gives a
matt finish to printed areas. For designs with large areas of print such
as solid coloured backgrounds, we recommend our Premium option for best
quality results.
Can I do a custom size swing tags?Yes
our online quote builder allows you to select from a range of standard
sizes or manually enter a custom size. Simply click the check box next
to the standard dimensions to enter your custom size.
How do I supply my artwork?Please
supply artwork for swing tags as a press ready PDF with a minimum of
3mm bleed and crop lines. Please do not put a drill hole circle in your
final artwork, we do not
want to print this. Instead please provide a second PDF indicating the
hole location. 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 a border on my swing tags?We
really don't recommend printing borders on swing tags. We have a shift
tolerance of 1mm for swing tags. This means prints can shift in any
direction during printing and trimming by up to 1mm. When borders are
printed this means some swing tags will look asymmetrical. If you really
want a border we recommend only having this on one side of your swing
tags and making it at least 5mm in from the edge. This allows us space
to re-trim if required to try and make them as symmetrical as possible.
Can I have a sample print of my swing tags 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 swing tags? 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 swing tags 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 swing tags 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 swing tags?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 swing tags. 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 swing tags with Pantone colours?No
we do not print swing tags using Pantone colours. All of our swing tags
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 swing tags 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 swing tag 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 $10, however this is refunded
when you place an order. Request a pack from here:
