We handle the printing and ship it straight to you.

File Setup Specs
Following these specs gives you the sharpest print and the fewest surprises. The Visualizer checks resolution and proportions for you, but it helps to start with the right file. For full details, see our print-ready file requirements.
| Product | Size | Recommended file size (pixels) | Resolution |
|---|---|---|---|
| Yard Sign | 18″ x 24″ | 2700 x 3600 | 150 DPI |
| Banner | 2′ x 3′ | 3600 x 5400 | 150 DPI |
| Banner | 3′ x 5′ | 3600 x 6000 | 100–150 DPI |
| Car Magnet | 12″ x 18″ | 1800 x 2700 | 150 DPI |
| Car Magnet | 12″ x 24″ | 1800 x 3600 | 150 DPI |
| Car Magnet | 18″ x 24″ | 2700 x 3600 | 150 DPI |
| Business Card | 3.5″ x 2″ (3.75″ x 2.25″ with bleed) | 1125 x 675 | 300 DPI |
| Stickers | Your size | Size in inches x 300 | 300 DPI |
Bleed and safe zone
Add 0.125″ of bleed on every side. Extend your background color or image past the trim line so there are no white edges after cutting. Keep text at least 0.125″ inside the trim line.
Keep text and logos at least 0.5″ from the edge.
Keep important content at least 1.5″ from the edge so hems and grommets don’t cover it.
File formats
PDF and high-resolution PNG print best, and JPG works too. Convert text to outlines or flatten your file so fonts don’t shift. Design in CMYK if your software allows. RGB files are fine, but bright neon and electric colors may print slightly softer.
Quick tip: If your image came from social media, a text message, or a screenshot, it’s probably too small to print well. Use the original file from your designer or design app.
Tips for a Print-Ready File
- Use the highest-resolution version of your artwork you have.
- Match your design to the product’s shape. An 18×24 sign is a vertical rectangle, and a 3×5 banner is a wide one.
- Keep important text and logos away from the edges.
