Question
What file formats should I submit for custom print orders?
Answer
Print-ready PDF is the preferred format for custom orders because it locks fonts, colors, and layout in place so the file prints the way you designed it. If a file is too large or awkward to share, reach out and the team can help transfer it securely.
- PDF: flatten transparencies, embed fonts, and export at high quality for the cleanest result.
- Large or hard-to-open files: contact the team for a secure transfer link instead of struggling with email limits.
- After upload: files are reviewed, then the team confirms what can be produced and provides pricing.
