Overview
Canadian programmes often need English and French copy in the same artwork, which makes safe-zone planning and minimum type size more important than usual. We preflight bilingual files for legibility and barcode clearance before plates are made.
The same standard applies to a first pilot run and to a full seasonal programme.
Bilingual Artwork
Allocate the panel space early: French copy is frequently longer than the English equivalent and should not be squeezed after the dieline is fixed. We check minimum type sizes, accent rendering and barcode quiet zones on a signed proof.

- Accent and special-character checks
- Minimum type size and quiet-zone verification
