Question
How do I set up my design files for ultra thick printing?
Answer
Setup for ultra thick stock follows standard print prep. The thickness does not change the file, but clean margins and bleed still matter.
| Setting | Recommended |
|---|---|
| Color mode | CMYK |
| Resolution | 300 DPI |
| Bleed | 0.125" on all sides |
| File format | Print-ready PDF |
- Keep important text and logos inside the safe margin, away from the trim edge.
- Use a blank template sized for your product so bleeds and margins are correct from the start.
- Outline fonts before exporting.
- Review a proof before printing to confirm everything sits where you expect.
