CD Label and Film Specifications 

We are running the film so don't worry about the below unless you are supplying your own film

Trapping

A  trapping spread of 2 pts is required on multi-colour projects.  Without trapping, slight registration variations during printing.  Adding a 2pt outline of the same colour around the object  will resolves this.
