    Artwork Guideline

    FAQs

    Will you check my artwork?

    We carry out a basic pre-flight check to ensure:

    • Correct size

    • Bleed included

    • Resolution appears suitable

    We do not proofread content or check spelling unless artwork services are requested.

    What happens if my artwork is not set up correctly?

    If we identify issues, we will contact you before printing. Minor fixes may incur an artwork charge.

    Can you design or amend my artwork?

    Yes - we offer a full in-house design and artwork service. Please contact us for a quotation.

    Accepted Files

    We recommend supplying artwork as a high-resolution, print-ready PDF (PDF/X-1a or PDF/X-4 preferred).

    We also accept:

    • Adobe InDesign (.indd – packaged with fonts and links)

    • Adobe Illustrator (.ai – fonts outlined)

    • Adobe Photoshop (.psd – flattened where possible)

    • High-resolution TIFF or JPEG (300dpi at final size)

    Microsoft Office files (Word, PowerPoint, Publisher) can be accepted but may require additional artwork setup and cannot guarantee accurate colour reproduction.

    Colour Mode

    What colour mode should my artwork be supplied in?
    All artwork must be supplied in CMYK colour mode, not RGB.

    RGB is used for screens and will convert to CMYK for print, which may cause colour shifts. To ensure accurate results, convert your artwork to CMYK before submitting.

    Profiles

    Which colour profile should I use?
    We recommend using:

    • Coated paper: FOGRA39 / ISO Coated v2

    • Uncoated paper: FOGRA29 / ISO Uncoated

    If you are unsure, please contact us before exporting your file.

    Will colours match exactly to my screen?
    Printed colours will differ slightly from what you see on screen due to monitor calibration and colour space differences. For brand-critical work, we recommend supplying Pantone references, RALs, hard copy samples you've had previously or requesting a printed proof.

    Bleed

    Do I need to include bleed?
    Yes. All artwork must include 5mm bleed on all sides.

    This means any background colours, images, or design elements that run to the edge of the page must extend 5mm beyond the trim size.

    What is a safe zone?
    Keep all important text and logos at least 5mm - 10mm inside the trim edge to avoid risk of trimming variation.

    Multi Page Documents

    How should I supply multi-page artwork?

    Please supply multi-page documents as a single PDF in page order, set up as individual pages (not spreads), unless specifically requested. We will

    Include:

    • Correct page size

    • 3mm bleed on all pages

    • Consistent margins

    • Crop Marks

    For stitched booklets, ensure page counts are divisible by 4.

    Material Choice

    Does paper choice affect artwork?
    Yes. Different materials affect colour and finish:

    • Uncoated papers appear softer and slightly less vibrant.

    • Coated papers produce sharper detail and more vibrant colours.

    • Recycled stocks may slightly alter colour tone.

    • Large format materials may require higher resolution artwork.

    If you need guidance selecting the right stock for your design, we’re happy to advise.

    Text Size

    What is the minimum readable text size?
    As a general guide:

    • Standard print: Minimum 6pt

    • Reversed (white on colour): Minimum 7–8pt

    • Large format (viewed from distance): Text size should scale accordingly

    Avoid very thin fonts below 7pt, as they may not reproduce clearly.

    Accesibility

    How can I make my artwork more accessible?

    We recommend:

    • Strong colour contrast between text and background

    • Minimum 10–12pt body text where possible

    • Avoiding long passages in all caps

    • Not relying on colour alone to convey meaning

    • Clear, legible font choices

    If your materials need to meet specific accessibility standards, please let us know.

    QR Codes + Links

    What size should QR codes be?
    Minimum recommended size:

    • 20 x 20mm for standard print

    • Larger for posters or outdoor materials

    Ensure strong contrast (black on white preferred).

    Do I need to test my QR code?
    Yes. Always test QR codes before submitting artwork. We can generate static QR codes for you. Ensure your QR code does not require a subscription to stay active.

    Can I include clickable links?
    Clickable links only function in digital PDFs. For print, ensure URLs are short and easy to type.

    Images

    What image resolution is required?

    • Standard print: 300ppi at final size

    • Large format: minimum 150ppi at final size

    Low-resolution images (72ppi web images) will appear pixelated in print.

    How can I check image resolution?
    Check the effective resolution in your design software at 100% scale.

    Vectors Vs Rasters

    What is the difference between vector and raster artwork?

    • Vector graphics (logos, icons, text) are scalable without losing quality.

    • Raster images (photographs) are resolution dependent.

    We strongly recommend supplying logos as vector files (AI, EPS, or outlined PDF) to ensure sharp reproduction at any size.
