Design Specs
For optimal results, we recommend a resolution of at least 150 DPI, with 300 DPI preferred for detailed artwork. Acceptable file formats include vector files such as AI, EPS, and PDF, while high-resolution raster files like PSD, TIFF, and JPG are also supported. Ensure artwork is in CMYK and include Pantone references for consistent colour reproduction. Consider bleed and repeat patterns for seamless long-run graphics.
