Sending Us Your Files

Preparing your Files
Format: Your file must be either a PSD, TIFF, PDF, EPS, AI, or a .CDR.
Resolution: The resolution of your images must be at least 300 dpi at 50% of size. This only applies to bitmap images, not vector images.
Cropping : Please include crop marks. Please allow a ¼” for all bleeds.
Text & Line Weight: The thinner the lines or the finer the text used, the less chance there is of achieving good print results

Compress Your Files
Please compress your files using a compression method such as WinZip (PC) and Stuffit (Mac) before you upload them. It is a good idea to place all of the files you are uploading into one folder and to compress the whole folder. Remember the amount of time it will take to upload a large file is very dependent on the speed of your internet connection.
