Artwork Guidelines

Get Your Files Print-Ready First Time

Setting Up Your Files

Follow these six points and your artwork will print exactly how you expect.

Send A PDF

A high quality PDF is best. We also accept AI, EPS, PSD, TIFF, JPG and PNG files.

Use CMYK Colour

Printers use CMYK inks, not RGB like your screen. Here’s why it matters.

Add 3mm Bleed

Extend any background or image 3mm past the edge of the page so there are no white edges after trimming.

Keep A Safe Area

Keep text and logos at least 3mm inside the trim line so nothing important gets cut off.

300dpi Images

Images should be 300dpi at the size they’ll be printed. Large banners can be lower. Ask us if you’re unsure.

Outline Your Fonts

Convert text to outlines or embed your fonts so everything prints exactly as you designed it.

No Artwork? We Can Design It

Our designers can create your artwork from scratch or tidy up what you have. Visit our Design Centre.

Upload Online

Upload your print-ready file when you order. We’ll check it over and let you know if anything needs changing.
