Common Mistakes to Avoid

Wrong Cardstock GSM

Key Consideration: Using too thin cardstock may result in poor durability.
Tip: For heavier products, choose 350-400gsm cardstock with reinforced bottom.

Moisture Damage

Key Consideration: Standard cardstock is not waterproof.
Tip: For food or humid environments, specify moisture-resistant coating.

Incorrect Fold Score

Key Consideration: Improper scoring causes cracking or uneven folds.
Tip: Request test folds before bulk production.

Artwork Bleed Issues

Key Consideration: Missing bleed margins cause white edges.
Tip: Always include 3mm bleed on all sides of artwork.
