Question

What file formats or methods work best for submitting design files?

Answer

You can hand off design files in a few different ways depending on how large they are and where you are in the ordering process. Small files can be emailed, larger files should go through a transfer service or be compressed, and files for an active order upload straight to that order in your account.

Upload through your accountFiles tied to an existing order
WeTransfer or a file transfer linkLarge files too big to email
ZIP or file compressionShrinking a file before sending

To upload to an order, log in, open the order, and use the Upload button. A few setup tips that help any print job:

  • Send a print-ready PDF whenever possible, with fonts embedded or outlined.
  • Keep raster images at about 300 DPI at final size so they print sharp.
  • Include bleed if your artwork runs to the edge.

If you are unsure which format to send, contact the support team before you upload.
