Brochures (Marketing Materials)

Q: How do I set up my files for brochure printing?

File Type: We prefer PDFs for quality retention. We also accept EPS, SVG, AI and even properly sized PNGs. Resolution: A minimum of 300 dpi (dots per inch) for image resolution ensures that your images are sharp and clear when printed at full size. Color Mode: Save files in CMYK color mode, not RGB. CMYK mode is used for printing and will provide you with a more accurate representation of how your colors will appear on the final product. Fonts: Outlining your fonts converts text into graphic objects, promising your text appears as intended without any font substitutions that could alter your design. Bleed Requirement: Add .125 inches to each edge of the canvas size. For example, for a 8.5" x 11" brochure, the bleed area would increase to 8.75" x 11.25".
