Artwork guidelines.
Follow these specs and your job goes straight to production. Not sure? Add artwork cleanup at checkout and we'll handle it.
Accepted file formats
Preferred: AI, EPS, SVG and press-ready PDF. Vector artwork scales to any size without quality loss and gives us clean contour cut paths.
Also accepted: PNG and JPG, as long as the resolution is high enough at final print size. Maximum upload size is 50 MB.
Resolution
- Decals and stickers: 300 DPI at final printed size.
- Banners: 100–150 DPI at final size is sufficient for normal viewing distances.
- Wall graphics: 150 DPI at final size, or vector where possible.
Bleed and safe area
Add 0.125" of bleed on decals and 1" on large format if your design prints to the edge. Keep critical text and logos at least 0.25" inside the trim on decals, and 2" inside the edge on banners so hems and grommets never clip your content.
Color
We print CMYK. RGB files are converted automatically, which can shift very saturated blues and greens. If you have exact brand colors, send Pantone references and we'll match as closely as the substrate allows. Holographic vinyl shifts color by design — light, open artwork shows the effect best.
Cut lines
For contour cut work, either supply a separate spot-color path named CutContour or let us generate the cut line from your artwork's outer edge. Kiss cut and sticker sheet layouts are built by our production team from your supplied art.
Fonts and transparency
Convert all type to outlines. Flatten complex transparency effects before export to prevent unexpected results in RIP processing.
Proofing
Every custom order receives a digital proof by email before production. Approving the proof confirms spelling, layout, size and color expectation — nothing prints until you approve.
Need help with your file?
Automated artwork checks are informational only — your digital proof is the final review. Add artwork cleanup, vector conversion, basic design assistance or full design assistance in any configurator and our team preps the file for you.
