Best formats
Vector PDF, AI, EPS or SVG files give the cleanest cut lines. High-resolution PNG and JPG files also work for most products.
File setup
Artwork guidelines
Send the strongest original file you have. Our prepress team reviews every order before it reaches production.
Resolution
Build raster artwork at final size and 150–300 PPI. Large-format work may use lower resolution based on viewing distance.
Color
Use CMYK when available. Screens and printed materials reproduce color differently, so request a printed sample when an exact brand color is critical.
Bleed + safe area
Extend backgrounds beyond the trim and keep important text, logos and borders safely inside the cut line.
Cut paths
Supply a production-ready contour path when your design requires a specific cut. If you need cut-path design assistance, choose an artwork service to receive a proof before printing.
Artwork rights
Only submit content you own or have permission to reproduce. The customer is responsible for trademarks, copyrights and licensed artwork.
