Technical Specifications

Resolution

300 DPI minimum (higher is better). Images below 300 DPI may appear pixelated or blurry when printed.

Color Mode

CMYK (not RGB). RGB files will be converted to CMYK and colors may shift. Design in CMYK from the start for accurate colors.

Bleed

0.125" (1/8 inch) on all sides beyond the trim line. This prevents white edges if cutting is slightly off.

Safe Zone

Keep important text and graphics at least 0.125" inside the trim line to avoid getting cut off.

Fonts

Convert to outlines or embed fonts in PDF to prevent font substitution or missing fonts.

Text too close to trim line may get cut off during production

Unembedded fonts may be substituted with different fonts, changing your design
