Art Guidelines

 

ARTWORK GUIDELINES

Our advanced design tool allows you to easily upload your custom artwork and resize it to fit the chosen template. Our online design software will indicate the resolution of your image, notify you of any problems, and will generate an instant proof for your approval.

What if I don’t have custom artwork prepared? There’s no need to worry. You can create your design from start to finish on our site. Give our intuitive tool a try today.

• If working in Canva, please export as a “PDF-Print” file.

ADDITIONAL ART GUIDELINES

If you need more details because you are working with a designer, view the information below

Vector Artwork

• Vector artwork preferred; raster accepted

CMYK vs. RGB

• We accept both CMYK and RGB

Text and Images

• Use converted/outlined text and include embedded images

Caution Zone

• Minimum of 0.125” for most products.
• The caution zone is the space between the elements of art and the finished edge of the product or the trim line. The material can move slightly during the cutting process and having that buffer will ensure that none of your art gets cut off in the process or looks off-center.

Bleed

• Minimum of 0.125” for most products.
• Bleed is the distance the ink extends past the finished edge of the product before final cutting.

 

PROFESSIONAL PRINTING PROCESS

We are committed to high-quality printing.

All products are printed using a digital four-color printing process. This allows for maximum flexibility and nearly limitless design and color options.

 

TEMPLATES

We make it easy.

We have templates built into our art tool for all our products including custom decals, roll labels, magnets, clings, and more. Choose a custom size to die cut a shape that looks just like your art and pad it with a white margin if needed. Need an editable PDF template? Use the Contact Us page to submit your request.

 

PROOFS

Know it’s right … in an instant. 

Our online art tool provides instant proofs. Once you approve your final art and complete your cart purchase, we immediately begin printing.

If you email high resolution artwork, we will send a digital proof within 3 business hours for review. If there are problems with the art file, we will reach out to you within that same time frame to find a solution. We’ll never print without your full approval. Once approved, we immediately begin printing.
