With a rich family history of mechanical ingenuity, Team CE's roots trace all the way back to Richard's grandfather, who invented the Automatic Bowling Pinsetter for Duck Pins here in CT. Since 1985, we've continuously enhanced our FL Smithe equipment to exceed traditional OEM capabilities. Our production process begins with computer data and advances to precision printing, cutting, folding, and gluing. This approach enables us to craft envelopes and packaging that go beyond the ordinary, incorporating additional scores, folds, or protective laminates.

Attached is a general guide for layouts. It is HIGHLY advisable to print, cut, and fold layouts to check for proper bleeds, spacing away from folds and die line edges, and to insure no art is being covered by areas that fold over each other.
Also, the attached .ai Template has TWO layers: Layer 1 is the die line. This should ALWAYS remain the exact color it is, remain ‘locked’, and kept isolated from the ‘Art’ layer. The second layer is for the graphics to be printed, and should contain ONLY the graphics to be printed. Any extraneous objects or duplicate objects should be removed from the file.
Here’s some suggestions that will have them print far better, easier, sharper, and dry quicker:
1) All black text and background should be on the Key[K]/Black separation ONLY.
2) All logos would reproduce better in vector format; if not available, should be 400ppi/dpi
3) All images should be 400ppi/dpi.
4) All text should be vector.
5 All colored text should be just that… text ‘filled’ with the appropriate color, NOT a text mask with a colored block behind it[as Photoshop files tend to do].
6) All front/back/bottom/side bleeds should be a minimum of 1/16th of an inch.*
7) All text and images should be a minimum of 1/16th of an inch away from folds and die cutting areas.*
8) Full coverage bleeds beyond the die cut should be a minimum of ¼ of an inch.
9) All spot color[PMS Colors] must be converted to process color[CMYK].
10) Files should be submitted in .pdf format.
*1/16th inch is the MINIMUM. We encouraged using 1/8th - 3/16th inch for internal bleed areas[over folds], as well as spacing elements away from folds and cutting areas.
