Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most popular questions
Standard is PDF/X-1a (for offset) or PDF/X-4 (for digital), depending on the technology. All fonts are converted to outlines or embedded, images are CMYK at 300 dpi for main visuals and 600 dpi for fine details, brand colors are fixed in Pantone. I additionally provide AI or INDD source files for future edits. A tech sheet (bleeds, scoring, die-cut) is sent in a separate note.
Bleeds are the part of the image that extends past the trim line (typically 3-5 mm). They're needed because when large stacks are cut, paper shifts by tenths of a millimeter, and without bleeds you'd see a white strip on the edge. I always include bleeds in the layout and add crop marks for the printer. It's basic prepress hygiene — without it the run quality isn't guaranteed.
RGB is the additive model for screens (red-green-blue). CMYK is subtractive for print (cyan-magenta-yellow-black). If you send an RGB file to the print shop, colors will shift unpredictably: bright green becomes grayish-green, saturated blue becomes purple. I always work in CMYK from the very first stages and calibrate the palette against a real run at a partner print shop.
Pantone is a spot-color system where each shade is a separate ink with its own number. Pantone is used where the brand color is critical: premium product packaging, corporate letterhead, direct-mail envelopes. CMYK cannot reproduce Pantone identically because it mixes four inks. If your brand «forest green» exists, it must be in Pantone — otherwise every run will look slightly different.
It depends on volume and complexity: a simple 16-24 page catalogue with ready photos is one budget level, a full 60-80 page catalogue with product photography, infographics and technical drawings is several times more. I always start with a free consultation where we map out the page count, product count and photo format, and give a fixed price. Press preparation is a separate stage in the estimate.
Yes, packaging is one of my core services. The process: spec and dimensions (from the box or thermoforming supplier), dieline, design concept, refinement, press preparation considering material (cardboard, film, varnish). For food packaging I additionally align labeling, barcodes, nutrition facts and shelf life per state requirements.
Yes, but with one condition: I audit the file, honestly say where the errors are, and propose either edits to the existing layout or a full redo. Often an old file was made in RGB, without bleeds, fonts not provided — in this state fixing is more expensive than redoing. I tell you that openly and quote both options — you choose.
Three-stage check: 1) Self-audit (Preflight in InDesign or Acrobat), 2) Digital proof in-house, 3) Contract proof at the print shop before the run. All this is logged in a checklist I deliver with the file. No run starts without your sign-off on the proof — this guarantees the printout matches what we agreed.
For smoked products the key requirements are ingredients, nutrition facts, shelf life, storage conditions, barcode, production date, brand and producer (address, phone), certification marks. I prepare the label in two versions — for thermal-transfer printer on the line and for offset run for gift series. I check compliance with DSTU and EU export rules if you plan to enter the Polish or Slovak market. Brand identity for the line is aligned with the branding package.
Yes, for timber processing I prepare batch passports, pallet tags, EU export markings (EUTR, FSC, PEFC if certified), catalogues of timber and MDF/HDF panels for distributors, letterheads and proposals. I know the specifics of printing on non-standard surfaces — cardboard, plywood with laser engraving, thermal paper. I can visit the production site and align files with the logistics manager.
Print is just one channel. If you also need digital creatives (Instagram, Meta Ads, TikTok), I bake a coherent visual system across print and digital so the client recognizes you both on the «Hollywood» supermarket shelf and in Reels. Digital details are in the ad creatives section.
Standard timelines: business cards and flyers — 3-5 working days, a 24-48 page catalogue — 2-3 weeks, packaging from scratch — 3-5 weeks (including dieline and proof). The print run itself takes a separate 5-10 working days. I always agree the deadline with the print shop before start so you know the real «in-hand» date. Order via the form on the service page.

Print Design Chernihiv — press-ready files & packaging
Print design in Chernihiv: a discipline, not a «pretty picture»
Chernihiv is an industrial center of Polissia with a strong food, textile and timber sector. For Novozavodsky district manufacturers, quality print is part of the product standard: a label with a barcode error means the run gets returned, a tag with bad CMYK means a complaint from an export partner. I've been preparing press files for 15+ years, delivered 130+ projects and work at the prepress level with print shops in Chernihiv and Kyiv.
Press preparation: the technical core
Each file goes through a three-stage audit. Stage one — Preflight in Adobe InDesign or Acrobat: bleed check (3-5 mm standard), fonts converted to outlines, image resolution control, black overprint, PDF/X-1a or PDF/X-4 profile. Stage two — a digital proof exposing color shifts. Stage three — contract proof at the print shop. Only after the client signs the proof does the run go live.
Labels and packaging for the food industry
Food is a special category. The label has to include ingredients, nutrition facts, shelf life, storage conditions, barcode, production date, brand mark, producer contacts and certification marks. Ukrainian DSTU regulates all of this, and for EU export Regulation 1169/2011 adds extra rules. I prepare files in two versions — for the thermal-transfer printer on the production line and for the offset run for gift editions. I align with the technologist and logistics lead.
Timber industry and export markings
For timber companies it's vital to have batch passports, EU export markings (EUTR, FSC, PEFC), pallet tags, timber and MDF/HDF catalogues for distributors. I build the files for cardboard, laser-engraved plywood, thermal paper. I align colors across corporate site, packaging and trade-show promo so the brand reads identically in Chernihiv, Gdansk and Kosice.
Catalogues, brochures, presentations
Multi-page print is its own art. In InDesign I build the grid, control hyphenation, kill orphan lines, align typography with the brandbook. For manufacturer catalogues I add infographics, technical drawings, spec tables. For distributor decks — a separate format focused on margin and logistics. All files are delivered in editable INDD so your in-house marketer can update prices on their own.
How to order print design in Chernihiv
Start with a free 30-minute Zoom call or a meeting at a downtown Chernihiv cafe. I fix scope, material types, deadline and give a fixed price in the proposal. No hidden stages — press preparation is always priced separately. I take care of communication with the print shop: you receive a finished run, not a «folder of files and further adventures».
