File Specifications

Please scroll down to download one of our free templates.

Bleed Format

Please ensure your file has the following dimensions:

7.20'' 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:

7'' 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)

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

I ordered several hundred posters. They were completed ahead of schedule, looked great, and were at an excellent price. One box and its contents got damaged during shipping and ChilliPrinting sent me replacements within a few days. I couldn't ask for anything more. ChilliPrinting rules!

ChilliPrinting is my go-to for posters. I love their quality and fast turnaround time. Even though ground shipping is slower right now, I can rely on 3-day shipping to receive my poster orders in good time.

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

I've used Chilli Printing for over two years now and have enjoyed excellent customer care, ease of ordering, and quality printed product with each order.

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

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 is top-notch. Ordering is easy and shipping is fast. Thank you for another successful order.

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

Thank you ChilliPrinting for your amazing service! I couldn't be happier with the quality and turnaround of your products.

Excellent service! Excellent product!

ChilliPrinting has remained reliable and prices fair during a turbulent time. I am a loyal ChilliPrinting customer!

Great price, product and service. Thank you,

Chilliprinting always does a good job with printing the posters for me. I appreciate the quick, quality service they provide at affordable prices.

Completely satisfied with ordering process , the timely shipment and the finished product. Definitely recommend.

I love how easy the website is to use. Lots of tips and information to guide you through the design process. My posters look great! I highly recommend!

Quick, great response to questions on the website chat. And my 6-fold accordion brochure came out beautiful with vibrant colors!

I appreciated the excellent customer service as well as the first rate printing job. Thank you :)

Great service and quick turnaround. Highly recommended!

Great printing quality. Received my order quickly

I've ordered twice now, and I love it! Great quality and great price compared to competitors!!!

Customer service is on point! Answered all my questions. My printed materials looked amazing.

I would recommend *** to others. It was easy to order - we did have a little trouble uploading our design (accidentally did it multiple times, so we had to start over). Besides that, the ordering process was simple, and we did not have to wait long for the order to arrive. We will definitely use *** again because the service and price are great!

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

Chilli is always the absolute best. Incredible turnaround time, flawless product, and amazing customer service.
