Do I need to create my own design for digital printing?

Not necessarily. You have a few paths to a print-ready file, and you can pick the one that matches your comfort level and time. Templates make it easy to get the dimensions right even if you are not a designer.

• Use a template: free downloadable templates come with the correct dimensions, bleed lines, and safe zones already set.
• Upload your own design: if you have artwork ready, submit it as a print-ready file.
• Get design help: for complex or custom projects, a designer can build the file for you.

Whichever route you choose, keep the file in CMYK at 300 DPI with proper bleed so it prints cleanly.
