Flyer and Brochure Design Specifications
Print dimensions and downloadable starter files
If you are creating your own design files, rather than using our customizable designs, it is important that you follow these basic design specifications in order to ensure that your file upload goes smoothly and your order prints as you intend.
Preparing Your Files
If you have not already done so, please review our guide to
Preparing Your Files. This page covers acceptable file types, important terminology and file setup, including:
- Bleeds, inner margins and trim size
- CMYK color and color matching standards
- Image resolution and dpi
- Embedded fonts and linked files
- Copyrighted images and other content
- PDF and printed proofs
Failure to follow these guidelines will result in a delay in printing.
