Question

Do I need to size my artwork to the exact dimensions, or can you resize it for me?

Answer

Artwork should be sized to the exact dimensions of your product before you upload, since files are not resized for you. Supplying the correct size keeps the layout accurate and avoids stretching or unexpected cropping.

  • Build the file at the product's specified finished size.
  • Use a print-quality PDF with 0.125 inch bleed on each side.
  • Set the file to CMYK color mode.
  • Remember that RGB or Pantone files are converted to CMYK during processing, which can shift colors.

Sizing the file correctly up front is the reliable way to get the layout and proportions you expect.
