Frequently Asked Questions
1. What file formats do you accept for artwork? We primarily prefer high-resolution PDF files for the best print quality. We also accept Coreldraw (.cdr), Adobe Illustrator (.AI), Adobe Photoshop (.PSD), Encapsulated PostScript (.EPS), high-resolution JPEG (.JPG), and PNG (.PNG) files. Please ensure all fonts are converted to curves and images are embedded.
2. What are your artwork requirements (resolution, bleed, safe zone, color mode)? For optimal results, please ensure your artwork meets these specifications:
- Resolution: At least 300 DPI (dots per inch) for all images.
- Bleed: Add a 3mm bleed on all sides of your artwork. This ensures no unprinted edges after trimming.
- Safe Zone: Keep all critical text and graphics at least 3mm away from the trim line to prevent them from being cut off.
- Color Mode: All artwork must be in CMYK color mode. RGB colors will be converted, which may result in slight color shifts.
3. How do I get a quote or how is pricing determined? You can get an instant quote using our easy-to-use online quote calculator on each product page. Pricing is determined by several factors, including the type of product, size, quantity, chosen material, finishing options (e.g., lamination, die-cutting), and complexity of the print.
4. How long does production take? Once your design has been approved by you, our standard production turnaround time is typically 2 to 4 business days (depending on the scope & size of the order). This doesn’t include the time it takes for you to approve your artwork proof or the shipping time.
5. Can I see a proof of my design before printing? Absolutely! For every custom order, we provide a digital proof via emailor WhatsApp for your review and approval before we proceed to print. This proof will show you how your design will look and verify all specifications. Production will only begin once we receive your explicit approval.
