PREPPING ALL IMAGES

The following guidelines apply to image types:

• Images should be 300 dpi or higher - PNG/JPEG files with less than 300 dpi will be rejected.
• Your artwork should include a 1/8" border around the final trim size. This means your final file size will be a total of 0.25" larger than your expected printed piece (ie, a 4"x6" postcard should be submitted as 4.25"x6.25"). There is no need to include crop marks in your submitted content.
  • We recommend using our Templates to ensure the proper sizing
• Include a safe zone – make sure no critical elements are within 1/8" from the edge of the final size.
• Do not include any additional postage marks or indicia.
• File sizes should be no larger than 5MB.

PREPPING PDFS

To ensure that you are producing PDF's correctly please follow the guidelines below:

• Make sure all fonts are embedded.
• Generated PDF's need to be be PDF/A compliant.

PREPPING PNGS/JPEGS

To ensure that you are producing PNG's/JPEG's correctly please follow the guidelines below:

• Minimum 300 dpi. The dpi is calculated as (width of image in pixels) / (width of product in inches) and (length of image in pixels) / (length of product in inches). For Example: 1275px x 1875px image used to create a 4.25" x 6.25" postcard has a dpi of 300.
• Submitted images must have the same length to width ratio as the chosen product. Images will not be cropped or stretched.
