Spacing - When designing a skin pack sheet, it is important to remember that the position of the die cut will often move up to 1/8" during the cutting process. It is important to take this into account and allow for 1/4" between the edges of the card and any important graphics.
Colors - Because skin board is a pourous, uncoated paper, inks do not print with the sharpness they do on glossy paper. When selecting colors from a Pantone Book, it's important to make sure all numbers end in "U" for uncoated.
Colors printed on skin sheets will look slightly washed out and lack the vibrancy of brochures, for example. It is important to take this into account when designing artwork.
Hanghole - The hanghole should be centered over the product's center of gravity. Allow 3/4" clear space from the top of the card and 1.5" in width for sombrero type holes.
Product Placement - Please allow a minimum of 1/2" of space to the edge of card on all sides of product. This space allows room for the paper to bond to the product and allows clearance for the blade when cutting.
