What is a Print-Ready File?

It’s important to have correct artwork so that your product looks great when printed.
If you choose to create your file yourself, please make sure your design follows the following specifications :
- Colour; your file has to be submitted in CMYK colours.
- File type; your file has to be saved in the correct file extension preferably in PDF format.
- Bleed and margins; the design needs some margins for cutting the prints. You can find the margins needed for your products in the artwork templates available on our website.
- Resolution; Your file must have a high enough quality (find out the quality needed for each product on the product pages).
- Text; the fonts in your design have to be embedded or converted to outlines.
- Size; the size of your file has to match your product. Check out the artwork template of your product to find the right size.
- Additional specifications; go to submission specifications in the product page of your product, and check further all the specifications required to make sure it will be printed perfect!
When you have finished your design, you can upload it to your order.
A little tip, there’s always the possibility after uploading your file to have a free file manual check done by our experts. We will never start printing your design without your approval of the digital proof.
