For successful completion of your project please have your files created as follows:
- Hi Resolution images are required. Rule of thumb is 2x the line screen. Minimum 130 ppi at 100% should cover most instances.
- Package and include all linked images and fonts.
- Save Photoshop files in layers when possible. (Do NOT flatten before saving)
- Check that the layout is proportionate to size quoted.
- If your software is compatible with ours, save file in program created.
Fonts
- Outline all fonts turning them into vector art
- Include all fonts with art file
- To make reverse type readable, avoid using type that is too small or delicate
Design Tips
- Avoid small type
- Allow .25” of bleed at 100% scale beyond the trim size if graphics bleed off
- Keep graphics/copy away from finishing operations such as hems and grommets
- List PANTONE (PMS#) or target colors
Any additional art creation, requested art changes or manipulations will be billed at our hourly rate.
