How to Prepare Your Artwork
To ensure the highest quality print, please supply your artwork in PDF format. We recommend saving your files with the 'High Quality Print' preset. Here are a few essential tips for the perfect print:
- Bleed Area: Please include a minimum of 3mm bleed on all edges of your design. This ensures no white borders are left when we trim your product to the final size.
- Safe Zone: Keep all important text, contact details, and logos at least 3mm away from the trim edge.
- Resolution: All images and graphics should be supplied at 300dpi (dots per inch) for crisp, clear, and professional results.
- Colour Mode: Convert all RGB and spot colours to CMYK format before exporting your file to avoid unexpected colour shifts.
