FILE FORMAT:
We accept the following file formats TIF, TIFF, JPG, EPS, PNG, AI, PSD, and PDF.
FILE SIZE:
The maximum file size acceptable for upload is 30MB (megabytes) per file.
RESOLUTION:
All file formats
must have a minimum
of 350 dpi (dot per
inch) resolution.
The images designed
for the web are done
at a low screen
resolution of 72
dpi. Print images
need to be created
at 350 dpi or there
will be a
substantial drop in
the image quality.
COLOR MODE:
All color artwork
and/or images must
be provided in CMYK
(cyan, magenta,
yellow, black) color
mode.
All black & white
artworks and/or
images must be
provided in
grayscale color
mode.
Heavy black ink
might cause
smearing.
BLEED:
Please build your
press-ready digital
files by adding 0
.1" dimension for
business cards,
postcards, and
rackcards. Add
0.125"
for all other
products.
We require ALL
files to be built to
the full bleed
dimension specified
for each trim size.
We automatically
trim 0.05" or
0.0625" off each
edge, which will
result in the
desired trim size.
Simply add 0.1" or
0.125" to the
overall dimension of
your digital layout.
Example: a 5" x 7"
would have a bleed
size of 5.1" x 7.1"
and a 8.5"x11" flyer
would have a bleed
size of
8.625"x11.125".

What's a bleed?
It is the portion of the card that will be trimmed off when cut to the final size.
Why bleed?
The purpose of a bleed is to continue a color, image or design to the edge of the card.
CROP MARKS:
Please build your
press-ready digital
files by adding crop
marks.
Lines indicating
where the paper
should be cut to
produce the correct
size.
FONTS:
- Fonts must be embedded in PDF files.
- Fonts must be outlined or converted to paths or curves in EPS files.
- Some fonts have copyright restrictions and will not embed in PDF Files.
- Quark Express: Fonts and images must be included with all files submitted. (Mac only)
SAFE ZONE:
All critical
elements (text,
images, logos, etc.)
must be kept at
least 0.125" inside
the edge. Anything
left close to edge
may be
cut off during
trimming.
BORDERS:
Please allow
1/16" cutting space
around your card. No
borders are
recommended, as
shifting in the
cutting process may
make borders appear
uneven.
