Question

What file format and specifications do I need for retractable banner artwork?

Answer

Prepare a print-ready file for your retractable banner so the graphic stays crisp at full height.

  • Format: print-quality PDF.
  • Color mode: CMYK.
  • Resolution: 300 DPI.
  • Bleed: include 1/8" (0.125") on each side.

RGB or Pantone files are converted to CMYK during processing, so expect a slight color shift if you start in those modes.
