File Format
File format must be either PNG or PDF.
Artwork Size & Ratio
Artwork must be sized to the banner size required or an equivalent ratio (e.g., 2:1).
This is to limit any resizing of your banner, which could lead to stretching and pixelation.
Resolution
The ideal resolution of the artwork will be greater than 150dpi, but a lower resolution may be acceptable.
We will double-check this for you before it goes to print.
Purchasing Multiple Items in One Order
If you are supplying multiple files for an order, please email us with a breakdown.
This needs to include your order number and a description of which files are for which product.
