To ensure the best possible large format prints, please follow these guidelines.

Design fees may apply if files need additional work to become print ready

ACCEPTABLE FILE FORMATS

  • Provide files as editable vector artwork.
  • Preferred file format is AI, but high res PDFs, EPS, and INDD files are also acceptable.
  • Package files to ensure links and fonts are included.
  • Indicate the scale used for art creation.

BLEED AND SAFE AREA

  • Provide bleed on all layouts, between 1/4” – 1”.
  • When designing for banners or large window graphics, keep critical elements, such as logos or type, at least 2” away from all edges.

COLOR SPACE

  • Build exclusively as CMYK.
  • Apply Pantones as spot colors where needed.
  • RGB/Hex values are not acceptable for print.
  • Please note, we cannot match CMYK values – these will print as is.

FONTS, STYLES AND LINKS

  • Outline type or supply fonts.
  • Supply or embed any illustrations or graphics linked in the layout.
  • Images should be a minimum of 100 ppi at 100% of final size. If the file is built at an alternate scale make sure resolution is appropriate to reduced scale. Example, at 1:4 scale resolution should read 400 ppi in the links palette

TRANSMITTING YOUR FILES

  • Files can be sent via email to the sales or project team member handling your account.
  • Files can be supplied as attachments, if size allows, or you can provide a link via a file sharing site, like WeTransfer.com.
