Important: Evan Evans considers artwork production-ready only when it meets the requirements below and no further in-house adjustments are required. If you are unsure, please contact our team before approving production.

Bleed

Include the correct bleed so backgrounds and images trim cleanly to the finished edge.

Image Resolution

Use high-quality artwork and images suitable for the final print size.

Outline Fonts

Convert all text to outlines to avoid missing fonts or unexpected text changes.

Colour Setup

Supply artwork in CMYK or Pantone Solid Coated colours where applicable.

File Formats

Print-ready PDF is preferred. AI, EPS, PSD and TIFF may also be accepted.

Templates

Use the correct template when your artwork needs cut lines, guides or finishing layers.

✓Outline all fonts before sending final artwork.

✓Embed all images or include linked image files.

✓Include the correct bleed for your product or template.

File setup requirements

These are the core requirements for supplied artwork. If your artwork does not meet these specs, additional file preparation may be required before production.

Preferred file formats

Print-ready PDF is preferred.
AI, EPS, PSD and TIFF may also be accepted.
Please embed all images or supply linked image files.

Bleed

Artwork must include bleed on all sides.
Use the bleed shown on the relevant product template.
For general large-format artwork, allow 30mm bleed unless advised otherwise.

Fonts

Convert all text to outlines.
This prevents font substitution and unexpected text changes.
Check spelling and final copy before submitting artwork.

Colour

Supply artwork in CMYK or spot colours where applicable.
Do not supply final artwork in RGB.
Use Pantone Solid Coated references for PMS colours.

Colour matching

Supply a colour-accurate proof when colour matching is important.
Clearly identify all Pantone colours with correct PMS numbers.
For critical colour work, ask us about a press proof.

Specialty inks

Contact production before supplying white ink artwork.
Specialty print layers may require specific file setup.
Do not guess layer names for white ink, cut lines or specialty finishes.

Image resolution guide

Large-format print does not always need to be built at full size. Use the guide below when preparing raster artwork.

Artwork scale	Resolution required	Best used for
100% finished size	75dpi	Full-size large-format artwork
25% finished size	300dpi	Quarter-size artwork setup
10% finished size	750dpi	One-tenth scale artwork setup

For online design uploads or smaller print files, high-resolution artwork is still important. Logos should ideally be supplied as vector artwork, especially for banners, flags, media walls and large signage.

Dielines and production layers

Dielines, cut paths and specialty finishing instructions must be supplied as separate layers within the file. Use our standard template where required so layer names match our production process.

Standard Illustrator dieline template

Use this template when your artwork requires cutting, routing, kiss cutting or other finishing layers. Keep guide layers separate and do not flatten production layers into the artwork.

Illustrator CC Template Illustrator CS6 Template Illustrator CS5 Template

When creating your own designs, use separate layers to define different cutting actions such as through cut, kiss cut, crease, drill holes or specialty finishing.

File preparation

If your supplied artwork requires adjustment before production, a file preparation fee may apply. Our team will contact you before proceeding if your file needs significant work.

If you do not have finished artwork, our qualified designers can help create or correct your file. Design and artwork correction is charged at $125 per hour.

Press proofs

For colour-critical projects, we recommend a press proof on the specified material. This helps confirm colour, finish and final print expectations before full production.

Evan Evans takes care when checking files, but the customer is responsible for the quality and accuracy of supplied artwork, including spelling, image quality and file setup.
