CD/DVD label design specifications:

• Avoid using large areas of solid colors because they tend to emphasize even tiny imperfections of printing.
• Feel free to use your Company colors and branding, but try to use the lighter colors more to ensure the best quality of printing.
• The inner hole in the center of the CD/DVD should not be present in the final file.
• For best results, please be sure that the artwork that you send to us is at least 300 DPI, maximum 600 DPI, RGB color mode.
