At The Promotion Factory we request all artwork to be supplied as high resolution PDF's. Please follow our step-by-step guidelines on how to prepare your artwork.
It is very important to review your document’s bleeds, trim marks and safe zone prior to uploading
(see image below).
Bleed
If you wish to have coloured backgrounds or images continue to the
edge of the product they must continue 3mm past the trim marks to create a
bleed margin. If they do not continue to the full bleed margin you most
likely will end up with white strips along the edge of the product due
to cutting tolerance.
Trim
The product will be cut on the trim mark (black line), however the cut may shift up to 1.5mm in any direction.
When uploading your own artwork ensure your artwork is set to the correct size. See table below for correct sizes:

It is very important to check your document’s colour settings. If it says “RGB”, the colours you see on screen will be much different than the printed colours.
Changing colour settings in Photoshop:
Go to the 'Image Menu' and choose “Color Mode”.
Check mark will appear next to current color mode.
Select CMYK Color.
Resolution:
You should ensure that all images are at least 300dpi. Images on the web have a resolution of 72dpi which is to low for printing (see below).
Always check your document for spelling and layout. You are responsible for proof reading your own files.
