Print Item Specifications
If you want to design your own print items,
here are some specifications to keep in mind:
Acceptable file formats:
Adobe Acrobat Document (*.pdf)
|
PNG Image (*.png)
|
Adobe Illustrator Document (*.ai)
|
PostScript (*.ps)
|
Adobe Photoshop Image (*.psd)
|
Scalable Vector Graphics (*.svg,*.svgz)
|
Bitmap Image (*.bmp)
|
TARGA Image (*.tga,*.vda)
|
GIF Image (*.gif)
|
TIF Image Document (*.tif,*.tiff)
|
JPEG Image (*.jpg,*.jpeg)
|
Windows Enhanced Metafile (*.emf)
|
PCX Image Document (*.pcx)
|
Windows Metafile (*.wmf)
|
File size must
be under 4 MB.
Image resolution should
be 300 ppi (pixels per inch) for best print
quality. For example, an item to be printed
at 1" by 1" would be submitted
at 300 pixels by 300 pixels and a 2" by
3" item at 600 pixels by 900 pixels.
Using less than 300 ppi will affect print
quality. Below is a document size chart (including
bleed area) for print items at this resolution:
Business cards:
1062 x 615 pixels
|
Business card magnets:
1063 x 615 pixels
|
Standard post cards:
1677 x 1300 pixels
|
Brochure: 3331 x 2588 pixels
|
Letterhead: 2588 x 3331 pixels
|
