Artwork Guideline
1. Templates
Use our product-specific templates, which include bleed areas, wrap zones, and margin guidelines.
Ensure all design elements stay within the safe viewing area to avoid cropping or misalignment.
2. Resolution
Minimum: 120 DPI at full graphic size.
Recommended: 300 DPI for sharp, high-quality prints.
3. Color Mode
Use CMYK color mode for all graphics (optimized for 4-color process printing to ensure accurate color reproduction).
4. File Preparation
- Images/Text: Flatten all images and outline text (prevents font loss or layout shifts).
- Color Matching: Provide Pantone colors for precise color requirements.
- Fonts/Images: Embed fonts and images (no missing elements or broken links).
5. Safe Areas & Wrap Zones
Safe Areas: Follow template guidelines to keep critical design elements visible (no cropping during production).
Wrap Zones: If applicable, ensure graphics flow smoothly around the display for legibility and visual consistency.
6. Accepted File Formats
- Preferred: PDF, AI, EPS (vector formats for scalability), PSD (flattened layers)
- Accepted: TIFF, JPEG (300 DPI+), InDesign (include all linked assets)
- Not Accepted: Canva files (export to accepted formats first)
7. Recommended Software
- Adobe Illustrator (ideal for vector designs, use our templates directly).
- Adobe Photoshop (for raster designs; match template resolution).
- Adobe InDesign (set canvas to template dimensions; include all links).
- Not Recommended: Canva, Microsoft Suite (lack precision for large-format prints).
