File Setup:

  • Files should be setup to full size or scaled proportionately.
  • Fonts should be outlined or provided with artwork.
  • Link images, and provide them if used in artfiles.

Bleeds:

  • Submitted art should have a minimum of 2” bleed on all sides.
  • Avoid putting important content close to edges of art space.

Resolution:

  • Final output for print is 100 dpi at full size. If files are at half scale then 200 dpi would be recommended.

  • If Pantone (PMS) colors need to be color matched, please build into the art files. Specify the PMS colors.
  • PMS color matches are for guidance and will be matched as closely as possible.
