From business cards to large-format signage, print remains a powerful marketing tool. Preparing files well avoids disappointment and extra costs.
Prepare your files
Provide high-resolution files (300 dpi) in CMYK, with bleed and safe margins. Ask for a proof before the final run.
Specify paper and finishes
- Paper type and weight.
- Finishes: matte, gloss, lamination, foil.
- Quantity and production timeline.
- Eco-friendly printing if desired.
Frequently asked questions
