Quick tips to print perfection

Which file types can I use? arrow
We like to be as flexible as possible, so you can upload your files as PDF, JPEG, TIFF and PNG. PDF's and JPEGs are the most accepted file type across all our products, so we recommend using those wherever possible.
What is bleed? arrow
Bleed is an area of print outside the document that must be added to your artwork before it’s sent off for print. By adding the all-important bleed (a minimum of 3mm on all edges), there’ll be no risk of white space left on your document and it'll be trimmed correctly without cutting into any design. Some products require a different amount of bleed, so be sure to check our downloadable templates to find out the correct amount.
What is safe area? arrow
The safe area is the space inside where your print will be trimmed. Keeping any important parts of your design away from this area will make sure that they aren’t accidentally trimmed off due to the natural movement while your print gets finished. Our downloadable templates will indicate the recommended amount of safe area for your print.
What’s the difference between RGB and CMYK? arrow
​​RGB is the colour gamut used to display images on a computer screen, and stands for Red, Green and Blue. CMYK is the colour gamut used for conventional printing, and stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black. Unless you’re printing Giclée Fine Art Prints or Photographic Prints, please set up your artwork in CMYK.
What are Versions? arrow
Our Versions service lets you print multiple designs using the same product specifications. For instance, if you have five different designs that share the same size, orientation, and paper stock, you can print them all at once using this service. By opting for Versions, you're increasing your overall quantity, which means you'll enjoy a lower cost per unit. To use Versions, simply select "yes" in the product builder when prompted with "Do you want to print more than one design?". When using Versions, the quantity you enter in the product builder applies to each design. For example, if you choose a quantity of 10 with 5 Versions, you'll receive a total of 50 prints.
What is personalisation? arrow
Personalisation is a simple, cost-effective way to tailor each of your individual prints. You can use personalisation for different text elements like names, addresses, and even personalised messages. However, if the text content on your design is the same for all prints, you don't need personalisation. There are two main options for personalising your print - you can either choose to add the personalised elements to your artwork yourself, or send us your artwork with a placeholder and a CSV containing a list of all the names/ personalised elements, and we’ll merge the two for you.
Why do I need to embed fonts? arrow
If you don’t embed fonts and your document is opened on another computer system that doesn’t have access to the original fonts, different fonts will be substituted instead. This could really affect the look of your finished print. Embedding fonts into your original design will stop them from changing.
Everything you need to know about resolution arrow
Remember to save your artwork out at a minimum of 300dpi resolution. This will ensure that when printed, your artwork quality is as crisp as possible.
Where can I find templates for shapes? arrow
If you've chosen a shape for your print (such as arch, wavy, circle or pebble where available), you'll find templates for these shapes on additional layers within the standard square or rectangular template. Download the template for the correct size, then delete the layers you don't need, leaving the layer for your chosen shape as a guide while creating your artwork. Delete all template layers before saving and uploading your artwork. This will prevent the template from being printed on top of your design.

Frequently asked questions

Got a question? We might have answered it here. If not, feel free to get in touch with The Team, we’re here to help!

What should I know before preparing artwork for print?

Here are the 7 key things you need to know before preparing your artwork to be printed with us:

1. We provide downloadable templates:
On most of our product pages, you can find free downloadable templates to help you set up your artwork for print. They’re available in AI, IDML and PDF formats to suit the design software you’re working in. Our downloadable templates include key information on creating artwork as well as instructions on how to save out your print-ready PDF. 

2. You need to include bleed:
Bleed is an area of print outside the document that must be added to your artwork before it’s sent off for print. By adding the all-important bleed (a minimum of 3mm on all edges), there’ll be no risk of white space left on your document and it'll be trimmed correctly without cutting into any design. Some products require a different amount of bleed, so be sure to check our downloadable templates to find out the correct amount. 

3. Keep in mind the safe area:
The safe area is the space inside where your print will be trimmed. Keeping any important parts of your design away from this area will make sure that they aren’t accidentally trimmed off due to the natural movement while your print gets finished. Our downloadable templates will indicate the recommended amount of safe area for your print. 

4. The difference between RGB and CMYK:
​​RGB is the colour gamut used to display images on a computer screen, and stands for Red, Green and Blue. CMYK is the colour gamut used for conventional printing, and stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black. Unless you’re printing Giclée Fine Art Prints or Photographic Prints, please set up your artwork in CMYK. 

5. Embed your fonts:
If you don’t embed fonts and your document is opened on another computer system that doesn’t have access to the original fonts, different fonts will be substituted instead. This could really affect the look of your finished print. Embedding fonts into your original design will stop them from changing. Find out how to embed your fonts here.

6. Check your image resolution:
For the best print results, all artwork files should be at least 300dpi (dots per inch) when saved at the actual size they will appear in your design. This ensures that your final printed project is sharp and clear, not blurry or pixelated.

7. How to export a PDF:
Exporting your design into a print-ready PDF is easy. We’ve created some handy video guides which will take you through the process which you can find here.

Find lots more artwork tips here, including if you’re printing any special finishes such as foiling. For products with multiple pages, such as Brochures or Booklets, explore our book printing guide here. 

What is a Professional File Check?

For a small fee, an expert member of our technical team will manually review your artwork before it goes to print so you can press 'go' with complete confidence. 


If you've ordered multiple products, you can choose to add a Professional File Check to individual jobs or your entire order. We'll check your file for common print setup issues and, where possible, fix them before production. If we find anything that needs your attention, we'll contact you and place your order on hold until you've updated and re-uploaded your artwork. 

We'll check things like: 
  • Image resolution for print quality 
  • Bleed and safe areas 
  • Page count and page order on folded products
  • Corrupt, blank or password-protected files 
  • Templates left on artwork 
  • Folds, cut lines, drill holes and binding areas (where applicable) 
  • Foil alignment and minimum line widths (where applicable) 
  • Personalisation files and version quantities (where applicable) 

A Professional File Check doesn't include: 
  • Spelling, grammar or proofreading 
  • Design, layout or text sizing advice 
  • Colour accuracy or colour mode checks (RGB/CMYK) 
  • QR code testing 
  • Calendar date checks 
  • Post-print quality inspection beyond our standard production processes 
See a full list of what's included here. 

Adding a Professional File Check won't delay your estimated delivery date, unless we need you to amend and re-upload your artwork after we've reviewed it.

To upgrade to a Professional File Check, simply select the option when you upload your artwork. We'll take care of the rest and let you know if we spot anything that needs your attention before your job goes to print.

How do I print with Canva?

Printing with Canva is quick and easy with Printed.com. Select your product, create your artwork in Canva, and export it as a print-ready PDF. Once uploaded to Printed.com, we handle the rest! 

For help with accurate sizing, bleed and export settings, please visit our Canva Support page for step-by-step guides and video tutorials. Plus, you can explore our library of free pre-formatted Canva templates to get started.

What size Certificates can I have framed?

We offer Framed Certificates in all standard A-sizes from A5 to A1, giving you plenty of options to suit your space. A4 is our most popular size, while A5 makes a compact choice for desks and smaller spaces, and A1 creates a standout display for office walls and larger areas. 

We also offer a 300 × 300 mm square format for a more distinctive look.

How can I hang my Framed Certificate?

We've made hanging your Framed Certificates as simple as possible – no DIY headaches here! Each frame arrives completely assembled and ready to go straight on your wall. The hanging hardware is already securely attached to the back, all you need to do is find your perfect spot, pop in a nail or screw, and hang away. It really is that easy!

What is dry mounting?

Dry mounting is a technique where a print is permanently adhered to a sturdy backing board using a heat-activated adhesive. This method ensures the print remains completely flat, eliminating issues like rippling, buckling, or air pockets - common with thinner paper or in humid conditions.

This process is a popular choice for Framed Certificates as it provides a smooth, polished finish that enhances the overall presentation. It’s particularly suited for professional displays, exhibitions, or commercial environments. It’s important to note that dry mounting is irreversible - once the Certificate is attached to the board, it cannot be removed.

We dry mount our A1 and A2 Framed Certificates as standard, but if you would like these without dry mounting please contact our Bespoke Team.

Which frame sizes come with mounts, and what are their dimensions?

Frames with mounts are available for A5, A4, A3, and 300mm x 300mm print sizes. Below are the full outer dimensions, including the mount and frame:

  • A5 print with mount and frame: 238mm x 326mm
  • A4 print with mount and frame: 325mm x 448mm
  • A3 print with mount and frame: 448mm x 622mm
  • 300mm x 300mm print with mount and frame: 428mm x 428mm
Choosing a mount is a great way to draw focus to your achievements - it creates a visual space around the print, helping to frame it and make it the centre point of attention. It also gives a clean, gallery-style presentation.

For extra guidance, we’ve provided an image reference guide so you can visualise how each size and mount combination will look before you order. Plus, you can have a read of our Ultimate Guide to Frame Sizes blog for guidance on which specifications to choose.

Which paper should I choose for my Framed Certificate?

We offer a curated range of premium paper stocks, each selected to give your Framed Certificates a professional, high-quality finish. Featuring renowned archival papers from Hahnemühle alongside Epson Premium Luster, our selection combines exceptional print quality with a refined, gallery-worthy appearance — ideal for showcasing important qualifications, awards and achievements. 


  • Hahnemühle German Etching: A 25% cotton and 75% cellulose blend, warm white archival paper with a distinctive textured surface and premium matt coating. Its tactile finish gives prints a traditional, gallery-quality character, making it ideal for prestigious Certificates, awards and qualifications where a sophisticated, tactile finish adds a sense of quality and importance. 
  • Hahnemühle Photo Rag Pearl: A 100% cotton archival paper with an off-white tone, delicately textured surface and distinctive pearl coating. Its combination of fine texture and subtle sheen adds depth while maintaining smooth tonal transitions and accurate colour reproduction. Acid- and lignin-free for excellent age resistance, it’s a great choice for Certificates that deserve an elevated, premium presentation. 
  • Epson Premium Luster: A 10-mil resin-coated, warm white paper with a fine texture and satin lustre finish. Its high D-Max produces deeper blacks, stronger contrast and greater image depth, while supporting highly saturated colour and fine detail. The subtle sheen gives Certificates a polished, professional appearance without the glare of a full gloss finish.

What are the frames made from?

Our premium frames are handmade in the UK using FSC-certified obeche wood, a lightweight and durable natural timber known for its smooth finish and subtle grain texture. 


Each frame is paired with high-quality plexiglass, providing crystal-clear clarity, UV protection and scratch resistance to help protect your Certificates while maintaining a professional finish. 

Designed for both style and durability, our Framed Certificates offer a premium way to display all your proud achievements for years to come.

How are Framed Certificates packaged for delivery?

Our Framed Certificates are carefully packaged using a crumple-zone suspension system, designed to provide extra protection during transit. This secure packaging helps absorb impact and keeps your frame protected, ensuring it arrives safely and ready to display.

What colour frames can I choose from?

We offer nine distinct frame finishes grouped into two style collections, allowing you to perfectly match your brand, office decor, or personal style:


Classic and Natural Woods:
  • Black Grain: A classic neutral with a subtle wood texture that provides a sharp, professional outline for any document. 
  • White Grain: A clean, airy finish ideal for crisp, minimalist certificates and bright office environments. 
  • Brown Grain: A deep, earthy wood tone that perfectly suits traditional degrees, honours, and heritage spaces. 
  • Oak Grain: A warm, natural wood texture offering a sophisticated, timeless look for lifetime achievements. 
  • Obeche: A smooth, light natural wood tone that gives professional credentials a clean, Scandinavian aesthetic.
Bold and Vibrant Colours: 
  • Pink: A lively pop of colour to give creative certificates and design awards a distinct, modern edge. 
  • Burgundy: A rich, deep red tone that brings traditional elegance to legal, medical, or academic diplomas. 
  • Blue: A versatile, eye-catching shade that complements corporate accreditations and modern certifications. 
  • Yellow: A bright, high-energy finish designed to highlight achievements and invigorate display walls.  
Every frame is hand-made to order using FSC-certified obeche wood, providing a premium, archival-quality finish to preserve and display your important milestones responsibly.

Paper

i
The kind of paper you choose for your print will determine how your colours look. For example, uncoated papers such as Tintoretto Gesso create a slightly more muted finish than a coated paper such as Silk, which is best for bright colours. Don't forget to consider weight as well. Weight of paper is measured in GSM (Grams per Square Meter). The higher the number you choose, the thicker it is. For example, the paper you find in your home printer is around 80gsm, whereas luxury Business Cards are usually between 300 and 400gsm.'
