• Convert all fonts to outlines & include linked images.
Raster based: .psd, .tiff

Raster images should be trimmed/cropped to edge of the bleed and exported or saved at 300 ppi (pixels per inch) at 100% size being used for optimum results.
Other raster formats (.jpg, .gif, .bmp) can be accepted, but may incur a small set-up fee.

Vector art is required for color adjustment and matching.

Before Sending Art (be sure to:)
Complete all edits & changes
All graphic elements appear how & where they should be printed.
Send only correct, print quality files (no art that should not be printed).
Set up art with correct colors & color mode
CMYK and/or Pantone Solid Coated (recommended). Vector art is required for color adjustment and matching
Tip: For bolder results, we recommend using a rich black (C: 25%, M: 25%, Y 25%, K: 100%).
Important: Blue colors with high percentages of magenta may print with a purple tint. Please supply a Pantone color to target.
Save all files at actual size
Submit vector or hi-resolution art at 100% of the desired size.
Prepare an obvious & editable vector cut line
Your cut line should show exactly how you would like your art to be cut, it should be visible & clearly not part of the design.
Tip: We recommend placing the cut line on a separate layer.
To ensure your final product is not damaged during production, we may need to slightly alter the cut line. A proof will be provided.
Set up bleed & safe margins
Bleed is the printing that goes beyond the edge or cut line of a product & allows the image/product to be cut to size.
A minimum of 1/16” (0.0625“) bleed & margin is required.
Some products may require more than 1/16” bleed & margin. Your service rep can supply product-specific requirements.
Convert all text to outlines
Converting text to outlines ensures there will be no missing fonts. Once converted to outlines, text is unable to be edited.
