File Formats

  • Preferred: 300dpi PDF (specifically PDF/X-4) is the industry standard for keeping layout integrity.
  • Other Formats: AI, EPS, TIFF, JPG, PSD (call us about other formats).
  • Compression: If your project contains multiple files, please group everything into a ZIP file to help reduce size.
  • File Size: We prefer individual files under 250MB, often using ZIP compression to submit large projects. For larger files, share a Dropbox or Google Drive link in the form instead.

Resolution & Color

  • Resolution: Minimum of 300 DPI
  • Color: CMYK is essential for accurate, professional-grade printing. RGB is accepted as well.

Layout & Bleed

  • Bleed: Add 0.125” (1/8 inch) bleed to all sides to avoid white edges after cutting.
  • Safety Margin: Keep text and important graphics at least 0.125” inside the trim line to avoid getting cut off.
  • Layout: Send documents as single pages, not spreads or booklets, unless specified.

Fonts & Images

  • Fonts: Convert all text to outlines or curves to avoid font issues
  • Images: Embed all images into the document (do not link them) to prevent missing file errors.
  • Transparency: Flatten transparency to prevent unexpected artifacts.

Final Checklist

  • Spell Check: Check spelling and image quality.
  • guidelines: Remove template guidelines/lines before saving final file.
