Guide to Preparing your Printing File
1. File type:
- We prefer Adobe Illustrator files.
- Please ensure texts are outlined (“Create Outlines”)
- Please ensure lines are outlined (“Outline Stroke”)
- If you used photoshop, please save as PDF file
- If you used Canva, please send the canva edit link
2. Special printing techniques
- If some items will be in foil stamping / blind stamping / letterpress, please separate the elements into a separate layer. These elements must be in vector. Do not rasterize
- If you used Photoshop, please separate the elements into a different file, but already in correct placement already on the artboard.
- If you are sending a PDF file (commonly from canva), please consider that this will likely be in FLAT PRINTING only :)
3. Sizes
- Our standard sizes are Big card 6x8” and Small card 4.5 x 6”
- Custom sizes available upon request
- Bleed 0.125 inch all sides
To ask for a quote, these are the info we need:
- Send your files for checking
- Note how many cards per set, and what sizes
- Itemize special upgrades, if any (wrap, pocketfold, colored envelope, ribbon, wax seal, etc)
- Itemize special printing if any (foil stamping, back to back printing, letterpress, etc)
- Quantity
Thank you!
