  • Minimum resolution: 300 DPI for raster images

Important: Simply changing a file's extension to a vector format does not convert the file type.

  • Al or EPS (Adobe Illustrator) - convert text to outlines and embed any linked images

How to convert text to outlines

When using Adobe Illustrator or similar design software, convert all text to outlines before sending your file. This prevents font substitutions and ensures your artwork is printed exactly as designed.

In Illustrator, select your text, go to the Type menu, and choose Create Outlines. You can also use the shortcut Ctrl + Shift + O (Windows) or Command + Shift + O (Mac). Save the file and send it to us.

Full Color artwork guidelines

Resolution

We prefer files to be at least 300 dpi or in vector format. Increasing the resolution of a low-quality image will not improve its clarity and will result in a blurry, pixelated print.

Bleed

Extend background Colors or images slightly beyond the edge of your design to ensure there are no white borders after trimming.

Web Images

Most images from websites are 72 dpi, which is too low for printing and may be subject to copyright restrictions. Only use web images if purchased from a stock photo site at a high resolution.
