5 Tips for Print-Ready Artwork That Saves Time and Money

Avoid costly reprints with these simple file preparation guidelines our production team recommends.

Submitting print-ready files speeds up production and keeps your project on budget. Here are five essentials our team checks on every job:

1. Use CMYK color mode, not RGB.
2. Include 3mm bleed on all sides for trimmed products.
3. Keep important text at least 5mm inside the trim edge.
4. Export PDFs at 300 DPI for crisp results.
5. Embed or outline all fonts.
