Question

What file format should I use for polyester printing?

Answer

Polyester is usually printed at large format, so the file specs are a little more forgiving than small paper products while still needing clean color.

SettingRecommended
File typePDF, AI, or PSD
Resolution150 DPI at final size (fine for large format)
Color modeCMYK
BleedPer the product template

Because these pieces are viewed from a distance, 150 DPI at full size keeps files manageable without a visible drop in quality. Start from the product template for exact dimensions and bleed.
