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.

Where large format comes to life

Behind every order is a dedicated facility run by a team that lives and breathes large format print. Years of experience, market leading equipment, and a process refined to give you consistent high quality — so you can hand over your project and know it's in professional hands.

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 can I customise Promotional Parasols?

You have full creative control over the design of your Promotional Parasol. We provide design templates specifically for the 1.8m circular canopy to ensure your custom design prints perfectly. For added flexibility, you can even opt to have a different design on each individual panel. This allows you to tailor your event Parasols to match your brand or event theme seamlessly, creating a standout impression.

What are Promotional Parasols commonly used for?

Promotional Parasols are versatile and designed for outdoor use, making them perfect for temporary events and short-term setups. They are ideal for festivals, pop-up markets, and promotional campaigns, offering a functional and eye-catching way to showcase your brand. Whether you’re hosting a one-off event or looking to create a memorable branded presence at an outdoor activation, Promotional Parasols are a practical and impactful solution.

Are Promotional Parasols suitable for outdoor use?

Yes! Our Promotional Parasols are designed for outdoor environments such as festivals, markets, and promotional events. They feature a robust 1.8m diameter canopy to provide shade or shelter from light rain, and a sturdy 15kg or 22kg base weight keeps them secure even in breezy conditions. The 25mm plastic coated steel pole and traditional umbrella mechanism make setup and handling quick and easy.


While built for outdoor use, these event Parasols are best suited for temporary setups. To maintain their condition, we recommend avoiding extreme weather and storing them safely when not in use.

Can I print a different design on each panel?

Yes, our Promotional Parasols are designed for ultimate customisation, allowing you to print a different design on each individual panel. This feature provides a fantastic opportunity to showcase your brand’s creativity and message, making them ideal for events, pop-up spaces, and outdoor venues.


Whether you want to feature your logo, a seasonal design, or any other imagery, you have the flexibility to make each panel unique.

Promotional Parasols are the cost-effective choice, and are both lightweight and portable. This makes them ideal for temporary setups like events, markets, and pop-ups. They feature a 25mm plastic coated steel pole and a canopy made from 300D Polyester, offering a balance of durability and portability.

Both options feature water-resistant, B1 fire-rated canopies.

How do I design and set up my artwork for a Promotional Parasol?

Designing your Promotional Parasol is easy using our downloadable design templates, which are split into individual triangular panel segments. You can repeat a single design across all panels, or upload alternating logos and completely different artwork for each segment. 


To ensure your artwork prints perfectly, please supply your setup as a single, multi-page PDF using the following structure: 

  • Page 1 (the mock-up): A visual overview of the full, assembled canopy so we can see your intended layout. 
  • Following pages (the panels): Your actual high-resolution artwork placed onto our template, broken down panel-by-panel. 
 The traditional round canopy model of our Promotional Parasols features a total of 8 individual design panels.

What base options are available?

You can choose between a 15kg base or a 22kg heavy‑duty base. The 22kg version includes built‑in side handles, making it easier to move and position - ideal for larger spaces or areas exposed to stronger winds.

Two black Parasol bases are shown side-by-side: a larger "22kg base with handles" on the left and a smaller, sleeker "15kg base" on the right.
