Artwork Requirements
To ensure your project prints perfectly, please follow these guidelines when submitting
artwork:
Accepted File Types
We accept the following professional design formats:
PDF (preferred), Adobe Illustrator (AI), Adobe Photoshop (PSD), and Adobe InDesign
(INDD).
When submitting Illustrator or InDesign files, please make sure your document is
packaged or saved correctly with all fonts and linked images included.
Fonts
All fonts should be converted to outlines (paths/curves) before exporting to PDF.
This prevents unexpected font substitutions and ensures your text appears exactly as
intended.
Bleed and Cropping
If your design includes bleed, please allow for a minimum of 5mm bleed on all sides.
This ensures a clean, professional finish after trimming.
Submitting Your Files
You’re welcome to bring your artwork to us on a flash drive, send it via email, or share
larger files through Dropbox or another file-sharing service. Once we receive your
artwork, we’ll prepare and present digital proofs for your approval before proceeding
with printing.
If We Design for You
When using our design service, it’s important that you receive a copy of your final
artwork for your records. Please ask the designer assisting you to provide proofs and
final files upon completion.
Unsupported File Types
We’re unable to accept artwork created in the following programs:
Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or Publisher (any version).
These programs are not designed for professional printing and often cause issues such
as:
ï‚· Text or object shifting
ï‚· Line spacing or pagination errors
ï‚· Automatic font substitution without warning
To avoid these problems, please use one of the accepted file formats listed above or
contact us for assistance converting your files.
