The easiest fastest way to supply files to us for printing is via email in the universal PDF format. This file format will allow you 'the designer' to create your own artwork with any application you choose, as long as once you have finalised your design it is distilled using a PDF distilling program, preferably Adobe Acrobat Distiller®.

The following guidelines should help you get it right first time.

• Artwork created with a minimum 3mm bleed around all the edges
• Created and saved using CMYK Colourspace ONLY
• Created and saved at minimum 300dpi resolution
• All used fonts turned to outlines (curves)
• Saved, zipped and emailed in PDF format using PRESS Adobe Acrobat Distiller® settings

If you prefer, or if your file is over 8MB in size, burn your artwork to CD, DVD and send that to us instead.
Please be aware that if the artwork you send us requires altering in any way for printing purposes then we will have to charge you additional costs of £25 per hour with a minimum charge of £25 to correct it.

If you require artwork assistance, download our Adobe Templates below!
Make sure you don't change any of the dimensions, image size, resolution or colour space. Simply create your artwork in the correct sized file and then ZIP it and Email it or post it to us on CD or DVD if over 8MB in size!
