Creating a professional sign always starts with good artwork. This section explains how to prepare design files for printing and what options are available if you need help creating a layout for your sign.

Whether you already have a finished design, plan to create one using AI tools, or want to hire a freelance designer, the guidelines below will help ensure your artwork is ready for production and your sign prints correctly.

Large format printing has specific technical requirements. Low-resolution images, incorrect file formats, or missing design margins can lead to blurry prints, color issues, or important elements being cut off during trimming. Following our artwork guidelines helps avoid these problems and allows us to move your order into production faster.

These policies are designed to make the design process simple, fast, and affordable for our customers.
