    Please refer to this checklist to ensure your file is ready for prepress.

    ☐ Set all documents to “CMYK” color space.

    ☐ Make sure all elements that will need foil stamping, engraving, letterpress, embossing, or die cutting are in a vector format.

    ☐ Make sure artwork has 0.125 inches (⅛”) of bleed, so the file is 0.25 inches (¼”) taller and wider than the finished size.

    ☐ Outline all text (or provide the typeface/font in a downloadable file format).

    ☐ Make sure files are in a PDF format.

    ☐ If your design requires variable data, such as addresses for envelopes, please provide all typefaces/fonts used in the design.

    This checklist is to make sure your design can be printed and finished without delays. Thank you
