- Bleed:
- Extend backgrounds 0.125" beyond each cut edge. An 18" x 24" sign needs an 18.25" x 24.25" artwork file including bleed.
- Safe Zone:
- Keep lettering and logos at least 0.125" inside the cut edge. Allow extra clearance for rounded corners, shaped edges and mounting holes.
- Resolution:

- Color Mode:
- Prepare artwork in CMYK. Screen colors can differ from printed colors.
- File Formats:
- Print-ready PDF preferred; PNG, JPG and TIFF are also accepted. Flatten image layers and embed or outline PDF fonts.
- File Size:
- Check the current limit in the upload window. Contact our team if full-size artwork is too large to upload.
- Printed Sides:
- Provide one artwork page for each printed side. Match front and back orientation to the horizontal or vertical layout selected.
- Shapes and Hole Drilling:
- Confirm the cut outline and hole positions for your chosen shape and size before finishing the artwork. Keep cut guides and hole marks out of the printed design. These are flat boards; no folding setup is needed.
- Proof Options:
- Review your instant online proof for errors before approval. A manually reviewed PDF proof is available for an additional fee; contact our team to arrange it. Pricing includes processing one uploaded file set and one proof. Check order progress in your account. Incorrect files can delay production.
