File Preparation

Accepted File Types: Illustrator (.ai, .pdf, .eps) Photoshop (.psd, .tif) .jpg

Suggested Output: We recommend no lower than 150 dpi.

Accepted Media: CD, DVD, Flash Drive, Email, DropBox

BEFORE SAVING FILE:

Convert all text to outlines or package all fonts in a zipped folder. Embed raster images. Build files as close to actual size as possible, or work in 1/2 or 1/4 scale of output size.

It’s not necessary to build files with extended bleed or crop marks. You can submit art in CMYK format and raster art in RGB, if file contains both, submit in PDF format. For best color accuracy embed Pantone colors into your vector artwork or provide a sample to match. Note: In the event usable artwork is not supplied by the customer File Setup fees may apply. This can include but is not limited to improperly saved .eps/PDF files, improper or unsupported file extensions, poor resolution, excessively large image file, or corrupted files.

Below is an example of a low resolution 72 DPI image versus a 300 DPI image at 100%. (Low Resolution 72 DPI image,High Resolution 300 DPI Image)
