File Checklist
A bad file will delay your order. Providing the correct, high-resolution file is critical to getting your printing done in a timely manner. If you are using a common file creator (Canva, Figma, etc), please use our checklist to ensure your file will print correctly.
The biggest problem we see?
Resolution! Your file MUST be 300DPI minimum to print without blurriness. Don’t let your order get held up – check your file first!
ACCEPTED FILE TYPES
Adobe PDF (*.pdf)
JPEG (*.jpg, *.jpeg)
PNG (*.png)
Adobe lnDesign (*.indd, *.idml)
Adobe Photoshop (*.psd, *.psb)
TIFF (*.tif, *.tiff )
PNG (*.png)
Scalable Vector Graphics (*.svg)
If using Canva, read checklist carefully and be sure to double check the resolution.
