Prepress Expert for Contour Cut Sticker
Budget: €8 – €30 EUR
**Title:**
Prepare print-ready vector file with contour cut line (ThruCut) for sticker production
**Description / context:**
I have an SVG logo that needs to be used for printing and contour cutting large stickers (80 x 144 cm) via a print provider (Drukwerkdeal).
The current file is being rejected because the cut line (contour line) is not set up correctly according to prepress requirements (spot color, overprint, etc.).
I’m looking for someone with **proven experience in print/prepress (stickers, contour cutting)** to fix and deliver a technically correct file.
**Task:**
Correct and deliver a print-ready file with:
1. **Document setup**
* Exact size: **80 x 144 cm**
* Include proper bleed (approx. 3 mm on all sides)
2. **Cut line (critical)**
* Closed vector path around the design
* **Stroke only (no fill)**
* In a **spot color named exactly: ThruCut**
* Set to **overprint**
* Smooth, clean contour (no unnecessary anchor points or sharp artifacts)
3. **File requirements**
* Preferred: **Print-ready PDF** + optionally the source SVG
* Spot color must be preserved correctly
* File must be directly accepted by the print provider for contour cutting
**Important (quality / expectations):**
* Only apply if you have experience with **print-ready files and contour cut workflows**
* No trial-and-error or basic auto-tracing
* This is a technical prepress task, not just design work
**Validation / payment (important):**
* I will test the file with the print provider (Drukwerkdeal)
* Payment will be made **only if the file is accepted without revision requests**
* Any corrections after first delivery are included in the job
**What I provide:**
* Existing SVG file
* Print provider specifications (PDF with instructions)
**Optional:**
* Minor cleanup/optimization of vector curves is appreciated but secondary
