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)

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 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.

Highly impressed with the price and quality of my product! Will order from here again

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

I just came across Chilli Printing after needing a print job with quick turnaround. I was hesitant but decided to give it a chance. I am so glad I did! The price, quality and turn-around time were everything I was looking for. You have a new customer in me.

QUICK TURN AROUND, GREAT PRODUCT AND SERVICE

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.

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

I wanted to make gift wrap with some of my artwork. The 80# poster paper @ 24x38 inches was perfect. Top quality results! Packing & shipping did a great job — no damage to 1000 posters—4 boxes. Can’t beat the bulk pricing for superb quality printing/materials. Glad I found you!

Chilli never fails to satisfy! Great service, great prices and on top of that Great Quality!

Amazing customer service, fast shipping, great finished product.

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

The only place that offered the size and number of folds that i could find and the quality and time frame was great. The adobe templates made it easy. We will be ordering again when our stock runs out. Thanks!

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

Very excellent poster quality, high definition printing with amazing colors at the lowest prices around! I will keep ordering from ChilliPrinting in the future!

All around excellent experience! I have already recommended to others.

I have had trouble up loading files but overall very happy so far with all the projects I’ve done

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

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.

Improve Chilli's services? Not possible! Every single aspect of the process works great....from getting online quotes, getting assistance from real employees, simple yet technical proofing process, option for proofing assistance, price, turnaround, delivery...EVERYTHING at Chilli works perfect! Keep on Chilling!!!

Best customer support ever. I have had so much help for a lot of personal difficulties I was having with the posters I was ordering. They are really a great company with great products!

Poster was received in perfect shape. Ordering more.

Great customer service - quick turnaround - great product and prices. My new go-to for bulk poster printing!

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 quality, high-speed processing, and packing are perfect.
