Question

What file format works best for acrylic printing?

Answer

Acrylic shows fine detail with almost no forgiveness, so your file resolution matters more than usual. Submit high-resolution files and keep everything at 300 DPI or higher at final size.

  • Preferred formats: print-ready PDF, TIFF, or AI (vector)
  • Resolution: 300 DPI or higher at the actual print dimensions
  • Logos and text: use vector art so edges stay razor sharp
  • Photos: start from the largest original you have, since low-res images look pixelated on acrylic
  • Always download the product template first so your artwork matches the trim and safe zone

Because the clear surface magnifies both sharpness and flaws, building your file at full resolution from the start is the single biggest thing you can do for a clean result.
