Start with the finished size
Tell us the final size you want the piece to be, how many you need, and where it will live. A menu on a table, a window graphic, and a trade-show banner all need different production decisions. If you do not know the final dimensions yet, send us the use case and we will help you work backward from it.
Send the best version of your artwork
A press-ready PDF is usually the easiest place to begin. For logos, type, and illustrations, vector files such as AI, EPS, SVG, or a properly exported PDF stay sharp at any size. For photographs and raster artwork, use the original high-resolution file whenever possible. Images pulled from social media or screenshots often do not have enough detail for a clean large print.
If your project is still being designed, send the working file and any brand assets you have. Design support is part of what we offer, so a rough direction, reference images, or an incomplete layout is enough to start a conversation.
Build in room for trim and finishing
Anything that prints to the edge needs extra image area beyond the final cut size. This is called bleed. Keep important type, logos, and faces comfortably inside the edge so trimming does not crowd them. Specialty cuts, folds, hole punches, labels, and installation pieces also need to be identified before production so the final file is built for the way it will be finished.
Flag the details that change the outcome
Paper, adhesive, substrate, finish, color, and installation method all affect the result. Let us know if the piece needs to survive weather, glass, refrigeration, heavy handling, or an event setup. Mention any colors that are especially important to your brand, and share a physical reference if a color match is critical.
Before production, we will confirm the details that matter for your specific job. That is the right time to ask about material samples, proofs, turnaround, and installation.
Include a simple project brief
A short email saves time: what you are making, quantity, desired delivery date, final size if known, and where it will be used. Add links to the artwork and references. You do not need every answer before reaching out; we can help turn an idea into a production-ready plan.
