At our printing facility, we want to make sure that your artwork looks its best on your chosen signage. To achieve this, we have some artwork guidelines that we recommend you follow.
Firstly, we recommend that your artwork is created in a vector format such as Adobe Illustrator or EPS. This allows for the artwork to be scaled to any size without losing quality.
Secondly, ensure that all fonts are converted to outlines or curves to avoid any issues with missing fonts. This will also ensure that your text looks exactly as you intended it to.
Thirdly, make sure your artwork has a bleed of at least 3mm on all sides to allow for trimming. Please keep important text and graphics away from the edge of the banner to ensure that they are not cut off during trimming.
Lastly, we recommend that you save your artwork in CMYK colour mode in PDF to ensure accurate colour reproduction. RGB artwork may appear differently when printed, and we want to ensure that the colors match your expectations.
If you have any questions or concerns about our artwork guidelines, please don’t hesitate to contact us. Our team of experienced designers is always happy to help you with any design questions or issues you may have.
