SPECS & TIPS

Specs and tips for printing Tacx bottles

Precision is key in the printing process. Factors like temperature variations and the conical shape of the bottle can impact the result. That’s why we emphasize the importance of providing good artwork. The better the artwork, the better the outcome. Rest assured, our team is here to assist you in ensuring a smooth and efficient printing process.

We offer free of charge templates to create a design.

All-round printing

With an all-round print the beginning and end of the print area will come together at the back causing a blemish line. This must be accepted. As an alternative you can choose a 5 mm opening.

It is possible that a design must be made up partially in cmyk and a part in spot colours. For example, small text cannot be made up in cmyk and needs to be printed in a  pantone colour. To ensure your calculations are correct, please always send us the artwork to check the number of print colours required.

When printing a full colour design, where the colours meet a 0,5 mm tolerance in closure must be accepted. With the full colour printing process (CMYK), the result will be matte, pixelated and colours can slightly deviate from the visual proof. Our raster size is 34 dpi.

Printing multiple pms colours

When printing a multiple colour design, where the colours meet a 0,5 mm tolerance in closure must be accepted. With PMS printing, the result is a shiny print. Colours created from a part of a PMS colour will be pixelated. Our raster size is 34 dpi.

We use the Pantone Solid Coated colours. Only these colours can be printed.

Printing on coloured bottles

To print a pantone colour onto a coloured bottle, it’s necessary to print a white underlay first. No white underlay is required for grey tints, gold, silver and white. In some cases, an outline is visible and must be accepted. Please ask for details. The white underlay is calculated as one extra print colour and one extra screen. If white is already part of the design, there is no extra white underlay required. If in doubt, please contact us for information.

We offer free of charge templates to create a design.

Tips

  • To save time, we prefer to receive a vectorised EPS file with the letters in outline.
  • Use the Bottle Creator for more inspiration as we provide max. 2 visuals per order!
  • As colours on your screen may deviate from pms colours, please ask for samples to determine if the pms colour matches your need. Samples are free of charge.
  • When we print in multiple PMS colours, you need to accept a tolerance of 0.5 mm between the colours.
  • Our expertise is cmyk print. This type of print, however, cannot be compared to digital print on a flat surface. Please ask for samples so the clients know what to expect (print will have a matte finish / pixel size of 34 dpi).
  • When you place an order, please always provide the following information: Quantity, Model and size, Colour of bottle and cap, Vectorised EPS file of the logo/design and/or design instructions, Delivery address, Contact name, Telephone number and the Deadline.
