File Submission
Original artwork should be submitted whenever possible to avoid an Art Charge.
Files generated in the following programs are preferred:

Convert all text to outlines. Expand all fills & strokes. Save as a PDF, EPS, or AI file.

Flatten the image.Make sure your file contains one layer. Save as a PDF, JPEG, TIFF or PSD file.

Convert all text to outlines. Embed all links or include all necessary assets and fonts. Save as a PDF.
Artwork & images must be 4-color CYMK or grayscale at a minimum of 100 DPI at size.
You MUST include bleed in all your files. Add a quarter of an inch (.25") to each dimension to allow for cutting.
PMS colors must be clearly specified. GIF files & low-resolution JPEGs are not useable for producing qualirt printing and are unacceptable. Print work submitted in MS Publisher, MS Word or any other Microsoft application can be used as a reference; however, art charged will occur.
