ARTWORK TEMPLATES
These templates are provided for CCT's customers. These templates allow us to align the cut of the disc to the silkscreened artwork.
These templates do not contain center holes or stacker ring knockouts. The center hole and stacker ring knockouts should be added per your production facility's requirements. The red text below the templates contains some very important information regarding the production of cd business cards. Please take a moment to read it.

| The following is a list of critical things to note about producing a shaped compact disc. Please make sure that all parties involved in your project understand the following points: 1. Please make sure that the template remains COMPLETELY UNALTERED. Do not scale, stretch, move, crop or modify the template in any way. Modification of the templates will result in unusable discs. CCT is not responsible for results if the text on the template is altered, the template is scaled, or if the template is modified in any way. 2. Do not use the .GIF files on this page as templates. Bitmap files are unsuitable for use as artwork templates. Do not save the templates as bitmap formats (.jpeg, .bmp, etc.) for distribution to your customers. Do not use hard copies (prints, faxes, etc.) for artwork production. 3. All templates are sized to leave a silver border between the card edge and the edge of the artwork. Different inks and processes yield different results with silkscreen durability. CCT is not responsible for silkscreen chipping due to intentional flooding of the artwork past the cut line, or errors at silkscreen. 4. Locator lines are critical to the production of a shaped CD. The sets of lines on the templates must appear on the discs when they arrive to CCT. Discs arriving without locator lines are subject to an upcharge if they are usable. Some jobs arriving without locator lines may not be able to be processed. CCT assumes no responsiblity for rotation of artwork on discs arriving without locator lines. 5. Make sure the template capacity matches the data capacity requirements of the content of the disc. If you produce a disc with 65 MB of information, and use a 58mm (40MB) template, your options are to rerun the discs, or cut the discs oversize (leaving more silver border). Make sure you include cross-platform data in the total data count. 6. CCT is always available to assist you with artwork problems or concerns. We will review your artwork free of charge to the best of our ability. Please contact us at 817.410.1222, or email templates[at]customcut.net.
