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)

ChilliPrinting is fantastic to work with! I love the different options for production and shipping speeds—I can choose exactly what I need to fit my timeline and budget.

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

A seamless print operation from start to finish - to your door perfection. 5 STARS

I am totally satisfied with my (3) print jobs! They turned out beautifully! I will continue to use your print services for future jobs. The only thing I struggled with was tracking my order. Otherwise, everything was perfect!!!! I like your tutorial - which explained how you wanted the art files laid out- very helpful. Thank you for your excellent work! ***

Just placed my first order from ChilliPrinting last month and all my expectations were met. The quality of my posters looked great The quoted delivery dates were right on time I was was kept dated on the status of my order often. The packaging of my order kept the posters in prefect condition once received. Placing another today Great Job ***** !!

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!

Excellent quality and prices. Careful packaging without worrying about damage. Shipping speed is faster than expected.

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

Customer service was great in pointing me in the right direction to figure out how to execute my project, and the paper samples made me confident that I was getting the right product. The turnaround time was great, good quality printing, and good price! I will definitely print with Chilli again.

After a bit of a rough start, the product and the service were great. I've been searching for a company to print my historic maps for years. Glad I found you.

I have ordered several times from Chilli Printing. Easy ordering and fast delivery. Top-notch service. Thank You!

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.

Price, service and poster print quality was excellent. Turned out a little dark and with some color shift, but I was warned this could happen as I submitted RBG files--only had PS Elements with no CMYK capabilities. I just bought Photoshop and I'll convert to CMYK, as well as upload the ICC info for the paper you're printing on. Hopefully the next poster will be even better.

I've relatively new to my current job where we order from ChilliPrinting. Ordering on the website is straightforward and very easy to do. I wish all websites were that easy to use!

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

ChilliPrinting is the best! They have their bulk poster process down pat. Super easy ordering process, great turnaround time, great quality.

Yet again, a great process all around. Easy ordering, fast service, and a great finished product. Hard to find fault...ok, it's not free...but it is still the best price around.

Everything was excellent as described and shipped in great time! Will be ordering again!

Amazed at how inexpensive the prices are for such quality work.

Great price, terrific quality, fast shipping

They did a great job and were very helpful!

Poster was received in perfect shape. Ordering more.

Chilli has hit my deadlines 100% of the time...for more than 5 years! Highly recommend!

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

Knowledgeable and friendly staff -- excellent printing services -- Thank you!
