Simple Design Service

When you just need a few words and a logo for your design. Simple text banners, step and repeat banners with more than 4 logos, duplicating your small file into a large printable file; we can cover most of these things quickly. The simple design service covers one of our designers for up to 20 minutes while we design your print-ready artwork. We never go to print without your direct approval.  Please know what you want.

Custom Design Service

For more carefully thought out designs, this service will cover one of our designers for an hour. We frequently stylize our banners to match our client’s specific branding requirements. Maybe you saw it online and wanted to match the style. Let’s get creative. This service is billable by the hour and starts with one hour.

Technical File Setup / Pre-Press

Certain types of projects take a fair amount of time to set up such as large wall wraps, multifaceted event printing projects and fence wraps. 

Technical file setup is one of our key skills that makes us good at what we do. We’ll let you know beforehand if we need to take a couple of hours to get everything arranged properly. 

File Guidelines for Wide Format Printing

We understand that differing print shops require different file setup requirements. Generally speaking, our entire staff is made up of people who understand resolution and file prep. Don’t hesitate to reach out with questions. We like to keep our guidelines simple. Below are some of the specifics that we always use for the setup of large-format print files.

  • We always use Adobe suite to create our files. On an average day, we are on Illustrator 80% of the time, and Photoshop 20% of the time.
  • Use Vector designs whenever possible. This golden rule ensures that your file will print sharply at any size. Using this method, please export print quality .pdf for us to use.
  • We do not need you to add bleed / crop marks or anything else to your print file (we do that on our back end). Please produce your artwork at the exact final finish size.
  • If producing a file exclusively using Photoshop – Please set your resolution to 150. When it comes to wide-format printing, the traditional rules of resolution do not apply.
