Artwork guidelines

Send files that match these specs and your job moves straight to proof. If something is off, we'll tell you exactly what to change - we never quietly print a file we're unsure about.

Every file goes through human review. Nothing is auto-approved - we check size, resolution, color and bleed, then send a proof. The final production template may differ from what you upload; confirm the final template before production.

Applies to every job

  • - Outline or embed all fonts.
  • - Embed linked images - do not send files with external links.
  • - Send artwork at 100% scale, or at a clean fraction (25%, 50%) and tell us the scale.
  • - Keep live text and logos clear of trim, folds, seams, hems and hardware.
