In questions related to new artwork and materials you will be served by the expert staff of our repro department at repro@auraprint.fi, tel. +358 207 917 788. You will find answers to the most frequently asked questions under the section Artwork instructions and artwork transfer.
You can find the latest print materials for your company’s products printed at Auraprint in the me&aura portal. This makes material management smooth and clear: both you and your company as well as us at Auraprint see the same version of the material, so discussing possible changes is easy. Order and draft traffic also runs through the portal. You can login to the me&aura portal with the user name and password issued to your company. If your company does not yet have these login credentials, contact our customer service at asiakaspalvelu@auraprint.fi.
