File setup for faster approvals

Clean files move faster. If the file is not perfect, send what is available and include notes. The proofing step helps catch issues before production.

PDF preferred

Send print-ready PDFs when possible, with fonts embedded and artwork prepared at the final size.

Bleed and safe area

For trimmed pieces, include bleed and keep important text, logos, and critical details away from the trim edge.

Label versions clearly

For multiple names, dates, locations, languages, or versions, label each file clearly so approvals do not get mixed.

Common use cases

These projects often need more than one product, more than one version, or a tight production schedule.

Business printing

Repeat business cards, sell sheets, brochures, forms, folders, signage, and marketing handouts for everyday use.

Events and trade shows

Banners, posters, table materials, display graphics, handouts, promotional items, and shipping-ready event kits.

Campaigns and advocacy

Political printing, union printing, yard signs, postcards, walk literature, mail pieces, and deadline-sensitive materials.

How it works

Simple intake, fast proofing when needed, and controlled production to the deadline.

1) Send specs

Send product type, size, quantity, paper or material, finishing, deadline, and pickup/delivery/shipping needs.

2) Quote + proof

Pricing is confirmed and a proof is provided when the project requires approval before production.

3) Produce

Production begins after approval. If a file or spec issue could affect the job, it is flagged before production.

4) Pickup, delivery, or shipping

Pick up locally, request delivery, or provide the ship-to destination for shipping options.

Do you handle rush jobs?
