Production Notes
- HEX and RGB are exact and authoritative. CMYK is calculated for uncoated/digital; confirm on press for your stock.
- Pantone values are closest-match estimates. Verify against a physical Pantone Formula Guide under D50 lighting before any spot run.
- Navy = primary; Red = accent only.
- Light Cream is near-white; on cream stock it may print as a light CMYK tint or be left as unprinted paper.
Print Requirements
Union Bug
All print materials must be produced by a union shop and carry the union bug.
The union print shop supplies its own bug artwork. The campaign does not provide it. Place it discreetly along the bottom edge of the piece, near the “Paid for by” disclaimer.
Required Disclaimer
This disclaimer must appear on every printed piece. Use the exact wording. Click to copy:
Templates, Bleed & Safe Margins
The campaign design team maintains print-ready templates that follow industry-standard bleed and safe-margin specifications for each material type. Rather than rebuild them, request the correct template for your piece from the contacts below. The templates are the source of truth for dimensions, bleed, and trim.
