File submission guidelines

FILE FORMATS
Print-ready PDF’s are the best!

We can work with just about anything you throw at us, but print ready PDF’s are the most efficient and cost-effective way to get the best results. If you need guidance just give us a call, we’re here to help.

The hourly rate to prep or rework files that need it is $75.


IMAGE RESOLUTION
All images should be 300dpi at their final print size. Images may look good on your screen at 72dpi, but higher resolution is required for quality printing. Lo-res images just don’t work.

We work with all image formats, including TIFF, EPS, JPG and PSD.


LAYOUT INFO
For best results, please consider using Adobe InDesign to create Acrobat (PDF) files for printing. These are the best tools for the job, but we’ll work with whatever files you have.

Bleed and Trim - Know about this, it matters. You don’t have time to have to do it over.

Safety Margins – Keep the content at least 1/8” inside the trim area.
