Supply a press-ready PDF (or EPS) built at the exact finished size — JPEG and TIFF are also accepted.

Add 3mm bleed on every edge and include crop marks.
Keep text and logos inside the 5mm safe zone, away from the trim edge.
Outline all fonts and embed every image before exporting.
Name your file clearly, e.g. company-dibond-A1.pdf.
Proofread at 100% zoom before sending — check spelling, layout, and image sharpness.
Sending low-res images, screenshots, or photos pulled from a website.
Supplying RGB or Pantone files — colours will shift on press.
Upscaling a small image to fit — it will print soft and blurry at board size.
Leaving live text un-outlined or images only linked, not embedded.
Sending Word, PowerPoint or Publisher files as final artwork.
Assuming an on-screen design is print-ready without a proper proof check.

Designed it yourself? Here's how to get a clean, print-ready PDF out of the most common tools.

Create a design → Custom size, then enter your finished width and height in mm (or cm).

File → Settings → Show print bleed to switch on the bleed guides.

A dotted outer bleed line and inner trim line now appear around the page.

Use the Uploads panel to add 300dpi images — free elements and stock can print soft.

Push backgrounds and images out to the bleed edge (3mm). Keep text and logos inside the trim.

Click Share, then choose Download to open the export options.

File type: PDF Print, tick Crop marks and bleed, and set Colour profile: CMYK (Canva Pro).

Open the PDF (not the Canva preview) and zoom to 200% — check crop marks, bleed and sharpness.
Embed all images at high resolution and convert fonts to outlines — or supply the font files alongside your artwork so nothing is missing at our end.
Flatten your design and save as a high-quality TIFF or JPEG. If you send a layered PSD, outline all fonts or include the original font files.

Package your file (File → Package) so the INDD comes with its linked images and fonts folders, then send us the whole folder as a ZIP.
