Use PDF or high-resolution PDF with embedded fonts and images. Vector formats (AI, EPS) are ideal for logos and text.

Minimum 300 DPI at final size for high-quality print.

Bleed ensures your design extends beyond the trim edge to create a high quality finish. Standard bleed is 3mm on all sides. For larger artwork like signage 10mm works best.

Always use CMYK for print. RGB is for digital screens.

Common options include:

Gloss Coated: Vibrant colours, smooth finish.

Matte Coated: Soft finish, less glare.

Uncoated: Natural feel, good for writing.

Specialty Stocks: Textured, recycled, coloured or metallic papers.

GSM measures paper thickness:

80–100 GSM: Standard text pages.

150–200 GSM: Flyers, posters.

250–350 GSM: Business cards, covers.

Yes, crop marks indicate to our production team where you intend your job to be trimmed.

Coated paper has a smooth finish for sharp images; uncoated paper is more porous and has a natural texture. The difference in coated and uncoated texture will also impact the vibrancy of the colour printed onto the paper.

No, convert all images to CMYK to ensure accurate colour reproduction.

Take the number of pages and divide it by two get get the total number of leaves. Multiply this by the grammage of your paper. This will give you the total depth in millimetres for your spine;

ie: 48pgs divided by two = 24 leaves x 0.15 (150gsm) = 3.6mm spine

Page multiples of four are required for saddle stitching / staple binding
