Low resolution files may be printed as is or will be placed on hold until we receive new files, slowing your turn-around. THESE ARE 72 DPI LOW RES IMAGES THESE ARE THE SAME IMAGES BUT AT 300 DPI We only accept 300 dpi files and no less.

Bleed must extend further than the cut line. Using one of our Templates can help you visulize this. Please keep all text and anything you do not want to get cut off at least .125" away from the cut lines. When sending an .eps or .pdf, make sure you include crop marks so we can cut the job correctly. Click here to go to our production templates.
