ARTWORK REQUIREMENTS FOR OUR PRODUCTS
Here are our specifications for uploading artwork to us.
By adding this file to your shopping cart, you agree that the file is print-ready artwork.

BANNERS
 If your artwork does not meet our requirements, then the artwork may not scale properly and may cause pixelated or blurry results. You also agree that printed colors may vary slightly from the design preview above due to differences in print (CMYK) and display (RGB) technologies.

Acceptable File Formats:
Preferred: Fully-scalable vector file, PDF, or tiff file
If you're using a program outside of Adobe, it will have to be exported from whichever program is being used as one of the following file types - PDF, EPS, or TIF - prior to uploading.
Size & DPI:
It is either a fully-scalable vector file, PDF, or tiff file that is scaled to full print size and is at least 100 dots-per-inch (dpi).
Bleeds:
If your artwork has bleeds, make sure it extends .5" past print size.
Fonts & Embedded Artwork:
Convert all fonts to outlines & if you have any artwork in your file, make sure embed it. Also make sure to flatten all files before sending.
Multiple Files:
If you have multiple files. Zip the files and then upload.
