The images in our collections are provided in RGB 100dpi .jpg format. You may want to increase the DPI to 300 (higher resolution) especially if being used for business purposes. This can be accomplished by using a graphics program such as PaintShop Pro, PhotoShop, etc. (Watermark on examples will not appear on downloaded files.)
After extracting your zipped files you may need to resize the images although they should be the correct size. However, if you find you need to alter the size, the dimensions are listed below:

Tips
If using glossy photo paper for your wrappers, you may want to spray your finished product (prior to wrapping the candy bar)with a clear acrylic spray (available from any craft supply store). Black ink will smear or wipe off glossy photo paper. If your design does not contain any black color and you want black text, just choose the darkest blue setting and you won't have this problem. Also spraying your wrappers will insure a waterproof product, great for water bottles, wine bottles, etc.
Glue sticks can be used to seal the wrappers, but double-sided tape provides a cleaner, more professional finish.
If you will be creating a lot of wrappers, invest in a paper trimmer. Trimmers will expertly trim your wrappers and save a tremendous amount of time and energy.
