To prevent white edges after trimming, please include a bleed area of 0.125 inches (3.175 mm) on all sides of your design.
All images and graphics should be at 300 dpi for high-quality print results. Images at 72 dpi may appear blurry or pixelated.
Ensure your artwork is in CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black) color mode to achieve accurate and consistent print colors.
We accept various formats including PDF and EPS, but print-ready PDF files are recommended for the best printing accuracy.
Additional Tip: If your artwork includes special finishing elements such as foil stamping, spot UV, embossing, or debossing, please provide separate design files or layers for each effect. This ensures that our production team can accurately apply and align these features during the printing and finishing process.
