CS File Template Set-up Instructions
Free
templates
Step
1
• Download the template you've chosen in your computer format. The templates have been compressed
as .zip (PC or MAC) files. To open the files, you will need either
WinZip for a Windows-based computer or Stuffit Expander for a Macintosh
computer. If you have either of these programs, double click on the downloaded
file to unstuff or unzip it.
Step
2
•
Open the .eps file in Illustrator CS. If there is a back and a front,
create a separate document for each side. The files will already be the
appropriate finish size, and will include crop marks, guides, live areas,
and fold marks for you to follow.
Step
3
•
Customize the template, adding your own design and information on a new
layer. Pay close attention to the guides and live areas designated, so
that your information will not get cut off the page. If you wish to add
photos, use the place function, and be sure that your images are at least
300 dpi.
Step
4
•
Save your file in .ai file format. Be sure to delete the layer that includes
the instructions and guides, or it will print with your file.
Notes:
•
To print to the paper's edge after final cutting you must make sure that
your image extends to the green boundary box.
•
Your text should not extend beyond the red safety area on all sides.
•
You must remove the instruction layer or it will be printed.
