All files need to be built to the final trim size plus bleed. So your file should be 1/2” larger than the product size that you are purchasing. (i.e.: 8.5x11 letter = 9x11.5 graphic file). 

•

We recommend that all images used are at least 300dpi for printing purposes. Submitting files with a higher resolution than 300dpi is not necessary.

•

Address Box The address box area should measure 4.5” x 1.5” on all jobs. If the address box is placed on the bottom of a piece it should sit 1/2” from the bottom and 1/2” from the edge it is closest to. If the address box is being placed at the top of a letter it should sit on the measurement line of 3.25”. (This includes: 8.5” x 11”, 8.5” x 13” and 8.5” x 14” pieces) No art should be inside this box unless authorized with Premium Productions. 

•

We require that all 4-color files submitted be saved in CMYK to ensure color accuracy as all RGB submitted files are converted to CMYK.

•

Fonts/Text: If working out of vector based software such as Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, or Freehand, all text must be converted to outlines before generating the final PDF file. If working out of Adobe PhotoShop, simply flatten the image. Please also make sure that you are not using a font size smaller than 7pt.
