Design & Artwork Setup
Artwork Specifications
To achieve optimal results, artwork should be submitted at a minimum resolution of 150 DPI, though 300 DPI is recommended for detailed designs. Ensure your files include a 50mm bleed on all sides to prevent unintended cropping. We accept formats such as PDF, AI, EPS, PSD, TIFF, and high-resolution JPG, with vector formats preferred for scalability. Our UV printing ensures vibrant, long-lasting colour reproduction, essential for maintaining brand consistency across multiple WAYFINDING sites.
