For Best Results Please Follow Our Guidelines.

FILE FORMAT:

The preferred format is high resolution AI format. Other formats are acceptable too, such as PDF, EPS, PSD files etc.

RESOLUTION:

All file formats must have a minimum of 300 dpi (dot per inch) resolution.

Print images need to be created at 300 dpi or there will be a substantial drop in the image quality.

COLOR MODE:

All color artwork and/or images must be provided in CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, black) color mode.

All black & white artworks and/or images must be provided in grayscale color mode.

Heavy black ink might cause smearing

BLEED:

We require ALL files to be built to the full bleed dimension specified for each trim size.

We automatically trim 0.05" or 0.0625" off of each edge, which will result in the desired trim size

Simply add 0.1" or 0.125" to the overall dimension of your digital layout. Example: a 5" x 7" would have a bleed size of 5.1" x 7.1" and a 8.5"x11" flyer would have a bleed size of 8.625"x11.125". downloadable templates?

What's a bleed?

It is the portion of the card that will be trimmed off when cut to the final size.

Why bleed?

The purpose of a bleed is to continue a color, image or design to the edge of the card.

FONTS:

a. Fonts must be embedded in PDF files.

b. Fonts must be outlined or converted to paths or curves in EPS files.

c. Some fonts have copyright restrictions and will not embed in PDF Files.

d. Quark Express: Fonts and images must be included with all files submitted. (Mac only)

SAFE ZONE:

All critical elements (text, images, logos, etc.) must be kept at least 0.125" inside the edge. Anything left close to edge may be cut off during trimming.

BORDERS:

Please allow 1/16" cutting tolerance around your card. We recommend no borders due to shifting in the cutting process, borders may appear uneven.
