Suggestions to set up your file:

• Color Mode: CMYK (We do not print RGB, 5th, Spot or PANTONE)
• DPI: 72 - 150 (recommended for most jobs)

*If your design contains small elements or letters similar to a business card design we recommend 300 dpi. BUT WE DON’T recommend you to make all of your graphics at 300 dpi when it is not needed, since that will slow down your upload, your program and in general the production of your job.
• Extension: .JPG or single page flatten .PDF
• Bleed / Crop Marks: No bleed or crop marks needed

These are 3 non mandatory but important recommendations for your banner design:

Margin For Hems & Grommets: If you are ordering hems or grommets in your banner you need to keep in mind the sewing around it we recommend to leave a margin of 1 inch in all edges of the banner design to prevent the sewing from cross paths with important text or elements in your design.

Pole Pockets Margin: Your design should fit the size of the print you ordered with no additional bleed but you need a margin of 1 inch all around the banner for finishing purposes. The margin is very similar to the previous mentioned but in this case the sewing depends on what size of pocket you chose, from 2 - 4 inches plus an extra inch for the sewing from the end of the design here you have an example for you to have a better idea.

• To insert into a frame: Make sure to measure how much area it will be covered by the frame and leave that same margin to prevent the frame from covering important information of the design.

• To install into a retractable banner stand: Always double check for the banner stand’s margin recommendations but in most cases you need to leave 1 inch in the top of the design because about 1 inch is what gets covered by the top aluminum bar and 3 inches in the bottom of the design because that part will get rolled inside the banner stand. 

• To insert into aluminum hanging rails: For aluminum hanging rails the margin needed to prevent covering text or important elements is 1 inch in the top and 1 inch in the bottom just where the rails go.
