Menu artwork built in a production design workflow
Layout work stays connected to the final print size, readability and production requirements from the beginning.
Gecko Print can work from finished artwork, repair files that are almost ready or create a new layout for a print project. Design support stays connected to the production requirements, so trim, bleed, folds, readability and final size are considered while the piece is being built.
