Artwork guidelines
Preparing your files well helps your project print at the standard you expect.
Preferred file format
Print-ready PDF is preferred. Original source files can also be supplied for review.
Resolution
300 DPI is recommended for most print artwork. Lower-resolution images may appear soft when printed.
Colour
Full-colour print work is generally supplied in CMYK. Spot colours should be identified in advance.
Bleed and safe margins
3mm bleed on all edges with a comfortable safe margin from the trim keeps content from being cut.
Fonts
Embed or outline fonts in supplied PDFs so they render correctly.
Page order
For booklets and multi-page documents, supply pages in reading order rather than imposed spreads.
Customer responsibility
Customers are responsible for the accuracy of names, phone numbers, addresses, dates, prices and other content. Please review carefully before approving.
Copyright
Only supply images, logos and text you own or have permission to use.
Large files
For files above standard email limits, please use a secure file-transfer service and share the download link.
Please note: supplying files does not guarantee they are technically suitable without review.
