Artwork Guidelines

At Banner Printed, we understand the importance of well-prepared artwork to ensure the best possible outcome for your banners. To guarantee a seamless process and exceptional results with our Express Banner Printing service, please adhere to the following guidelines:

File Format

Preferred Formats: Submit your artwork in PDF, JPEG, or PNG formats.

High Resolution: Ensure that your images are at least 300 DPI (dots per inch) for optimal print quality.
CMYK Color Mode: Convert your artwork to CMYK color mode to accurately represent the intended colors in the final print.

Size and Bleed

Actual Size: Submit your artwork in the actual size of the banner.
Bleed Area: Include a bleed of at least 0.125 inches on all sides to prevent any white borders after trimming.

Fonts and Text

Font Embedding: Embed all fonts in your document to maintain the integrity of your text.

Font Size: Ensure that your text is legible by using a font size of at least 12 points.
Convert to Outlines: Convert text to outlines or paths to avoid font-related issues during printing.

Images and Graphics

Image Embedding: Embed all images to prevent any missing links.

Image Quality: Use high-resolution images to maintain clarity and detail.
Color Profiles: Ensure that images are in the CMYK color profile for consistent color representation.

Design Considerations

Safe Zone: Keep essential text and graphics within a safe zone of 0.5 inches from the edge to avoid any content being cut off during trimming.
Simple Backgrounds: Use simple backgrounds to enhance visibility and focus on the main message.
Avoid Borders: Minimize the use of borders, as they may appear uneven after trimming.

Additional Tips

Proofread Your Artwork: Double-check all text and graphics for accuracy and typos before submission.
