Button Design Templates
Please read before you get started!
- Create artwork at 300dpi in CMYK format and work directly on the template (do NOT place or copy template into a new file)
- Outline or flatten all text layers before saving, so that any fonts you use are preserved
- We accept files saved as PDF, TIFF, JPG, AI or PSD
- Your artwork should fit inside the "Artwork Area" and make sure the “Cut Lines” layer is turned on
- Design background should extend beyond the inner lines to outer blue “Cut Line”. This will ensure your artwork wraps around the button edge and doesn't end just before
- If you want text on the edge of your button, it must fit between the two dotted guide lines
- Turn off or delete the “TEMPLATE” layer before sending artwork (Magenta "Artwork Area" Line should not be visible)
- If printing at home, scale at 100% (do not “fit to page”)
- The PDF template is compatible with most programs. Please use the PSD template for Photoshop and the AI template for Illustrator.
