All final print ready artwork must be supplied at a MINIMUM of 100dpi at full size or 300dpi at quarter size.
Bleed is required as indicated on our design templates, it is standard practise to keep all text at least 100mm from the edges allowing a safety area. Please make sure you remove the bleed lines before saving final print files.
