Printing Guidelines

GENERAL PRINT SET UP GUIDLINES

File Preparation & Requirements: Please follow our guidelines, files not created to our specifications and which print incorrectly we will not be responsible for, per our policy. Ensure to follow all instructions. Individual product requirements located at bottom of page.

Our templates are blank jpeg images which you can open in any digital image editing program like Photoshop, Illustrator, In-Design, Corel and more. After your final design is ready make sure to turn off or remove the blank template jpeg from your final design or else the template will print with the instructions and red and blue guides.

 

  • FILE FORMAT:

We only accept JPG and PDF.

At times (per request of customer service or per individual product requirements) we also accept AI, ID, PS, PNG, TIFF but not through our online ordering system - including Word & Publisher files (but quality for the last two can vary and may not be of high quality)

 

  • FILE SIZE:

The maximum acceptable combined file size for all uploads using our standard uploader is 145MB.

Anything over 145MB will use our large file uploaded for which free previews are not available.

The maximum acceptable combined file size for all email attachments is 25MB

For extremly large files/corrupt file uploads we maye allow you to send a 3rd party link (ex: dropbox, google drive, etc), contact us to ask us how.

 

  • RESOLUTION:

All file formats must have a minimum of 300 dpi (dot per inch) resolution unless we requested a vector file. The images designed for the web are done at a low screen resolution of 72 dpi, please do not use anything lower than 300 dpi. 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 for most paper and card products and individual color printing like offset or screen printing must be in spot color.
All black & white artworks and/or images must be provided in grayscale color mode.
Heavy black ink might cause smearing or smudging on ALL products.

 

  • BLEED:

What's a bleed?
Bleed is the portion of the product that will be trimmed off when it is 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 product. Due to the possibility of shifting in the trimming process, a bleed is required to ensure that a white line does not show on the edges of your product.

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

We automatically trim the bleed off of each side, which will result in the desired trim size.

Please build your print-ready digital files by adding the appropriate bleed to your file.
Add 0.125" bleed to each dimension and another 0.125" should be kept within your artwork final size for the safe zone (or 0.25" bleed on all four sides)

What's safe zone?
Safe Zone is the portion within the bleed that is used to ensure a flawless printed piece in case of the bleed being cut too close which quite often occurs.
All critical elements (text, images, logos, etc.) must be kept at least 0.25" inside the edge or 0.125" inside the bleed line. Anything left close to edge may be cut off during trimming.

 

  • ROUND CORNERS:

For round corner cards make sure that your bleed is 0.25" + 0.25" for your safe zone.

 

  • CROP MARKS:

Please build your press-ready digital files without any crop marks.
There should be no Lines indicating where the paper should be cut.

 

  • FONTS:
  1. Fonts must be embedded in PDF files.
  2. Fonts must be outlined or converted to paths or curves in EPS files.
  3. Some fonts have copyright restrictions and will not embed in PDF Files.
  4. Quark Express: Fonts and images must be included with all files submitted. (Mac only)

 

  • BORDERS:

Please allow .125" cutting space around your card. NO BORDERS are recommended, as shifting in the cutting process may make borders appear uneven (view flaws and imperfections section below).

 

  • IMPERFECTIONS & FLAWS

Due to the nature of our printing services and expedited rush printing methods all products whether rush or not tend to have minor imperfections and flaws listed below. Paper printing products deviations, shifting and cutting can be of up to .25" in any direction.
Napkin printing deviations and shifting can be of up to 10 degrees and up to .5" in any direction. Screen printing (shirts, aprons, tote bags, etc.) deviations and shifting can be of up to 20 degrees and up to 2" left to right and top to bottom of up to 5".
