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!!

Really great quality and service. Highly recommend.

Great quality and excellent customer service. I had to reprint because of something on my end and the staff went over and beyond to make sure I got my order in on time.

I orfered 10 prints of my original art work and I"m very happy with the results. My order and delivery was processed super fast and the prints were well packaged. The quality of the paper is above my expectations. My only issue is the matte finish is a little too shiney but the colors are as vibrant as the original. I will be a repeat customer.

I've had several products made and have nearly no complaints. The business cards could have been packaged a little tighter to not cause damage in transit but ever considering that, mine had no damage. Other than that, I am extremely pleased with the quality and timeliness.

The service was great, I just wanted an option to have our calendars printed on a little heavier paper. Thanks

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

Very satisfied with this company. High quality products. Fast delivery.

Fantastic prints and delivered on time. Great Job. Highly recommend.

Great customer support, duplicate button so you don't have to continually enter the same specs in and a reorder button. Easy website to use and product is nice.

I love ordering posters from you! Great quality and quick turn around. Lots of information and tips to help me make each poster I submit to you look great.

I continue to have excellent service and product from ChilliPrinting.

I ordered the 14x3.5" accordion brocure. Excellent customer service! Very fast and quality product! I will definitely reorder!

I have ordered several times from Chilli and each time I am satisfied. Easy ordering, fast shipping and product comes packed perfectly. Will order again.

We love the brochures we ordered. Everything printed quickly and arrived in perfect condition. The colors and text were crisp and sharp. Very pleased with our order and will order again!

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.

Highly recommend! We were looking for a new printing company and couldn't have been happier with results. Initial communications were prompt and helpful, pricing was good, delivery was earlier than expected, the items packed thoughtfully with great care and the finished product looked great! 5 stars!

I understand every time we are not going to get as lucky, but our 8-10 day production schedule turned into 2 days this time! Obviously the quality still needs to be there, and it was. Good work.

Printing and paper for poster looked very good. Good turn around.

This is the third time we have used your printing services and been so so pleased. We appreciate your service for our nonprofit organization. Thank you!

High quality printing and fast customer service replies!

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

printed and shipped quickly to customer. Everything always turns out great!

The posters we ordered were delivered when they said they wiuld be and were printed on a nice heavy stuck. The print quality was excellent. And the price was the best of any i found amongst wholesale printers online.

Consistently beyond expectations. Nothing else seems to put my experience with ChilliPrinting into words. Thank You yet again!!!
