Custom Dice Artwork Setup

CUSTOM ENGRAVED DICE

Manufacturing Restrictions

  1. We will need the artwork in vector format (Illustrator file).
  2. The engraved artwork should be 100% black on a white background.
  3. Artwork needs to be at least 2mm away from the edge of the die.
  4. Engraved lines should have a minimum width of 0.3mm
  5. Convex lines should have a minimum width of 0.8mm

File Setup

Follow the below instructions when setting up your artwork in Adobe Illustrator.

Artboard Count = # of sides

Artboard Size = quoted die size. For example, for a standard 0.63” die the size should be 0.63” x 0.63”.

Bleed = NONE

Margin = 0.08” on all four sides. Again, the artwork needs to fit within this margin.
