Question

How should I set up my foamcore print file?

Answer

Foamcore files are simple to prep if you match the print specs before exporting.

  • Color mode: CMYK for accurate printed color.
  • Resolution: 150 DPI minimum at final size (higher is fine for small pieces).
  • Bleed: 0.125 inches on every side.
  • Safe zone: keep text and logos at least 0.125 inches inside the trim.
  • Format: a flattened, print-ready PDF is ideal.

A quick file review before production catches low-resolution images, missing bleed, or RGB color so issues get fixed before anything prints.
