Artwork Submission
We do not provide graphic design services. You must submit print-ready artwork when placing an order. You will be prompted to upload artwork files to our server after completing your order. Please refer to the file setup guidelines below.
File Setup Guidelines
Please be sure that your final artwork adheres to our strict file guidelines shown below.
Download a design template here.
- Approved Design Software: Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign
- Recommended File Type: PDF
- Acceptable File Types (additional fees apply): Jpeg, TIFF, EPS, PSD
- Resolution: 300 dpi
- Color Mode: CMYK
- Solid Black Areas: For large areas of black coverage, use the following mixture: 60% Cyan, 60% Magenta, 60% Yellow, 100% Black. This will ensure a deep, rich black once printed.
- Fonts: Convert to outlines ( Illustrator & InDesign only )
- Bleeds: 1/8" on all sides ( 4 x 6 postcard = 4.25 x 6.25 artwork file ). Make sure your background runs all the way to the edge of the artwork file so that we can trim the outer 1/8" to create the image bleed.
- Safe Area: Keep text and critical artwork 1/4" away from all edges, since we will be trimming 1/8" in from the edge of your artwork.
- Do not include crop marks in your artwork. We will automatically trim 1/8" from each edge of your file if setup properly.
- If you are unsure of the printability of your artwork, please request a PDF proof during checkout.
Failure to adhere to file setup guidelines will delay your order.
