6. PACKAGING
As part of our full service philosophy, we can provide printwork and any special packaging procurement for you. Due to high yearly volumes we order with our qualified printwork suppliers, we can offer competitive prices. If you wish to utilise this service we request that your graphic studio provides components according to chapter 6.2., with chapter 6.3. being valid for the printwork carried out by us.
Sony DADC can also process text inserts and similar printwork provided by you. In such cases please ensure that these comply with chapters 6.3. to 6.5.

6.2.Film Specifications for
the Production of Printwork and Stickers
●Send only smooth offset films (positive, right reading, emulsion side down)
●Optimum screening for printwork films: 70 l/cm
●All printwork must have a catalogue number.
●Page number on all films.
●Please do not indicate origin details except for ”Made in EU”. Other data with regard to origin are not admissible and will be removed.
●Please mark each film with the respective colour.
●Please arrange films in such a way that the booklet is closed at the left. With special products such as leporello, posters, etc. please enclose a folding sample.
●Films must have a bleed of 3 mm. The cutting marks are arranged outside of the bleed.
●To avoid mismatches, please supply a compulsory match print with all films. However, please note that there may still be slight colour deviations between proof and printwork.
●The films should not be damaged and must be packed in a roll container or carton to prevent folding.
●If you request a colour match between printwork and DVD label print, special colours have to be specified in the same colour system.
●To protect your product against piracy and to clearly identify the holder of the rights, we ask you to indicate the name and address of the music company on the label film or on the printwork.
●When producing your films please mind that colour differences between the printwork and the DVDs may occur, since with the latter a base of polycarbonate with reflecting aluminium coating is printed on and therefore colour differences compared to printing on paper may result.
●To provide (as much as possible) a compli- ance of the colours of printwork (e.g. booklet) with the DVD label print, we advise to preprint a full white base on the DVD.
