Art requirements
Insert/Booklet Art

Back/Outside Tray Art
- Place the MVD Audio logo on the spines and bottom of the back tray.
- Place the MVD catalog number on both spines.
- Place the barcode in upper right corner of outside tray (place 1/8" from trim & fold lines). See these instructions on properly generating and placing barcodes to avoid a $50 barcode replacement fee.

- Place the MVD Audio URL (www.MVDaudio.com) on the bottom of the back tray.

- Place any credits or additional info that should appear here.
Disc Art
- Include title name, MVD catalog number, MVD Audio logo and any other applicable logos.
- Keep text and logos at least 1/8" away from the disc edge
- If artwork is not CMYK, specify PMS colors that should print and provide color separations.
- Specify whether or not a white flood should be printed.
- Do NOT include a cut out in the center of the disc, as our printers can often print closer to the center of a disc than a template may indicate.
Art submission checklist
- Ensure 1/8" bleed is included on all files except disc art.
- All support/artwork files must be CMYK or GREYSCALE format.
- All support/artwork files must be high-res (300 dpi+).
- Double-check measurements and spelling.
File delivery
When delivering final artwork, send both:
- Print-ready PDFs with all fonts converted into outlines for all artwork. Make sure 1/8" bleed is included in these PDFs. The printer will print directly from these PDFs.
- Source files, including all used fonts and linked images. We will use this if any last minute adjustments are needed.
Upload all print-ready art files via the MVDb2b.com vendor login. To upload, login to your account, and then go to: "Title Submission" > "View/Edit Submissions" > Upload (arrow) button on the far right column.
