File Specifications

Please scroll down to download one of our free templates.

Bleed Format

Please ensure your file has the following dimensions:

3.70'' x 2.20''

After printing we will trim off a 0.10'' bleed on each side. Any background elements or color should reach into this bleed area and last till the very edge of the file. Text and other important graphic elements should keep a safety distance to the inside.

Trim Format (Final Product Format)

Your product will be delivered with the following dimensions:

3.5'' x 2''

File Dimensions

Please first choose a size from the calculator to see the exact file dimensions.

Bleed 0.1'' (1/10'')

This margin is essential to compensate trimming tolerances. The bleed will usually be trimmed off completely. Please ensure that background images and any bleed objects, which are supposed to reach to the edge of your page, extend into this margin to avoid thin white edges after trimming.

Safety Area 0.08'' (1/12'')

Additionally, please ensure that text and other important graphic elements are positioned at least 0.08'' away from the bleed to the inside. In most cases it doesn't look aesthetically if text stucks too closed to the edge.

Resolution

We print with a 177lpi screen, which provides a resolution of 354 dpi. In order to obtain best results, your file should have a resolution of at least 300 dpi (dots per inch). Files for large formats, like for instance posters, may go below this threshold, however, in no case your resolution should be less than 150 dpi.

Color settings

CMYK is the standard color mode for full color offset printing. Thus, please use the CMYK color mode when creating your file. If, however, we receive files with any different color setting, our system will automatically convert them to CMYK. This may result in slight color deviations which will not be accepted as complaints since we cannot know the original color you had in mind. To avoid color issues, please use our color profile available further down this page.

Inking

The total of the percent values of the four color channels Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black must not exceed 300%. If it does, it will cause an above-average ink application and may not dry properly. As a consequence your printed products may stick together and tear on separation.
For black or gray color please only use the K channel (K = key = black). If your fonts are using three or more color channels, shadows may appear on the prints making the text difficult to read.
To obtain a deep saturated black of strokes and fillings, 40% Cyan and 100% Black are adequate (40/0/0/100). Alternatively you may also use the values 30/30/30/100.

Fonts

For offset printing, please always use Postscript fonts. In rare cases TrueType fonts may cause issues with many professional printing workflows. If TrueType fonts are unavoidable they should be converted to outlines, paths or curves (this function may have different names according to the used software).

File Formats

We prefer multipage PDF files, alternatively you may send us EPS, JPEG or TIFF files. Adobe Photoshop users should always save their files as JPEG or TIFF. If a Photoshop PDF is required, please use Acrobat Distiller to create the PDF (you may download our Acrobat JobOptions further down this page). Please never save a PDF directly from Photoshop.

Page Order

In your PDF file, the first page should be the front and the second page the back. Important for folded double sided products: The first page of your PDF must always include the front panel of your folded product (means the page which is supposed to be the front page after folding)

Very fast service. Very good quality. Fantastic price!!

I've been using ChilliPrinting for all of my bulk poster orders for years now. Their quality and service stand the test of time!

Products are awesome! Wished there were more discount codes

Best in the business for posters!

Always great working with y'all, we love the outcome everytime!

So fast, high quality, low prices. What's not to love!

Overall amazing experience! chilliprinting is the best. I wish it wasn’t extra to have them cut it to a custom size but it’s worth it especially considering their prices are cheap.

Great prices, great quality and great customer service. THANK YOU!

Always put out a great product. Production and shipping times are never delayed. Very satisfied with Chilliprinting.

ChilliPrinting provided excellent customer service, (the emails were so personal!!) quick turn around time (amazed at the quickness from placing the order to when it landed at our office), and extremely reasonable prices. Next time we have a substantial project to print we will be in touch.

ChilliPrinting makes ordering easy. I love that I can choose both production speed and shipping speed, to get my orders when I want for the price I want.

The turnaround time and quality of these posters I ordered was fantastic. Best deal I've found on the interwebs, thank you Chill Printing!

The best printing company I have ever worked with. A four year repeat customer. Their quality is unmatched.

Great quality and customer service.

Ground shipping started to get slower than usual, and I'm glad to see ChilliPrinting updated their estimated arrival date calculator to reflect that. Very helpful!

Great customer service! Chili contacted us by email to check an instruction detail that was unclear. Our posters arrived early in perfect condition.

We had no issues with our order this year. Customer service was very helpful with a few of my questions and the posters turned out really nice! Looking forward to ordering next year!! Thanks!!

Great service. Ordered posters with an easy process and fast delivery. Will use service again. Thank You!

Great price, terrific quality, fast shipping

great service, they answered all my questions promptly, the shipping was fast, and the quality was as good as it gets - very good!

Excellent customer service, fast shipping, great product. Thank you.

Chilliprinting never disappoints. Fast service great products and happy customers. Thank you

I love the ChilliPrinting experience. The variable pricing based on production and shipping speed is fantastic. And I always love my results.

I was extremely happy with the quality of my product. I also light how well it was protected and being shipped to me. Thank you so much.

Super satisfied with my posters from ChilliPrinting! I love that neutral shipping labels is an option as well, since I ship posters directly to my clients.
