| The best file format to submit your
artwork in is Adobe Acrobat -
.pdf
Please ensure
you have followed these steps prior to sending
the artwork :
1)
Convert all text to outlines / paths (the exact
terminology depends on your software). Please
include the fonts when you submit the artwork if
you haven't managed to convert the text.
2) Ensure
all images and relevant artwork are at 300dpi
before designing the layout (we may ask you to
submit higher resolution versions in some
instances)
3)
Include bleed on all layouts, it may slow down
the setup of your order if we have to request
new artwork from you. As a general rule, A6 and
below require 1.5mm bleed on each edge, A5 and
above requires 3mm on each edge.
4) Ensure
that all artwork is clearly labelled (eg;
JoeBloggs_Front.pdf, JoeBloggs_Back.pdf)
We also accept the following files (ensure
you follow steps 1-4 above when submitting any
artwork) :
