Checklist

For best results, please follow these
guidelines when preparing your file for print.

Quick Check

  • Text size is legible
  • Information is accurate and spelled correctly
  • Images are clear and meet DPI requirements

Resolution: Make sure all elements are set to 300 to 350 dpi (unless otherwise stated). Images taken from the web tend to be low-resolution, which can result in blurry or pixelated prints.

How to Prepare Print-Ready Files

Bleed Line Make sure all background elements extend to the bleed line.
Trim Line Product will be trimmed along this area to its final size. Borders are not recommended due to cutting shifts.
Safety Line Keep text and images within this line. Anything outside this area might get trimmed off.

Note: If your design contains a border, we recommend that it falls within the safe zone guidelines.

File Orientation: Please be sure to select the proper orientation on the order form to match the orientation of your files (horizontal or vertical). When uploading files, please be aware that the right side of your "Front" file will align with the left side of your "Back" file when printed.

Fonts

Make sure files are flattened and fonts are outlined. If your fonts are not outlined, a different font may be substituted in your document. To prevent these variations, outline all your fonts or save your files in JPG or TIF/TIFF file formats.

File Types & Color Mode

We accept the following file types: TIF, TIFF, EPS, AI, PSD, BMP, GIF, JPG, PNG, PDF.

Print files should be in CMYK mode unless otherwise stated. Please check the File Setup tab for each product for required color mode.

If you are submitting an AI file, please make sure the images within the file are properly embedded or linked.

Please note that we do not print adult content (though art is accepted), copyrighted material, discriminatory material, FDA material, or money. All files are subject to approval. We reserve the right to deny services without a disclosed reason for objectionable content.
