Q: How do I set up my artwork for print?

Do you provide downloadable templates? Yes! On our product pages, you’ll find free PDF templates to help you set up your artwork for print. Each template is pre-built with the correct bleed and safe area, so your design is ready to print perfectly. What is bleed? Bleed is the extra area that extends past the edge of your final document size. Adding bleed (at least 0.125" on all sides) ensures your design prints edge-to-edge with no white borders. Some products may need a different bleed size - check our templates or Artwork Editor for details. What is safe area? The safe area is the margin inside your document where important elements should stay. Keeping text and key design parts within the safe area prevents them from being trimmed off during finishing. Our templates and Artwork Editor show you the recommended safe area for each product. What’s the difference between RGB and CMYK? RGB (Red, Green, Blue) is the color mode used for screens. CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black) is the color mode for printing. Always set up your artwork in CMYK for the best results. Why do I need to embed fonts? If fonts aren’t embedded, another computer may substitute them with defaults, changing the look of your design. Embedding fonts locks them in so your print matches your original file. Which file type should I upload? Please upload a print-ready PDF or build your design using our Artwork Editor for the best quality and smoothest results.

Question 3

Which stock should I choose?

Accepted Answer

The kind of paper or material you choose for your print will affect how your colors look. For example, uncoated paper creates a softer, more muted finish and is great for writing on, while coated papers and materials are best for bright, vibrant colors.

Don’t forget to consider weight as well:

Text vs. Cover

Text stock is lighter and more flexible - think Brochures, Flyers, or the inside pages of a book.
Cover stock is thicker and sturdier - perfect for Postcards, Business Cards, or book covers.

lbs (Pounds) vs. pt (Points)

Pounds (lbs) measure paper weight - the higher the number, the heavier the stock. An 80lb text sheet is thinner than an 80lb cover sheet, as they’re measured on different scales.
Points (pt) measure thickness. One point = one-thousandth of an inch. For example, 10pt cover stock is 0.010" thick.
An 80lb text stock is roughly 4pt, and an 80lb cover stock is roughly 10pt, however this can differ per paper type.

Boards and materials

While standard paper stocks are typically measured in pounds (lbs) or points (pt), some large format and specialty materials use different measurements depending on the product.
oz (Ounces) are commonly used for banners, fabrics, and flexible signage materials. A higher ounce number typically means a heavier, more durable material. For example, a 9oz Banner is lighter and more flexible than an 15oz Banner.
mm (Millimeters) & inches measure material thickness and are often used for rigid signs and large format boards, such as Foam Board or Corrugated Plastic. Thicker boards are generally more rigid and durable, while thinner options are lighter and easier to display or transport.

Question 4

Can I get free shipping on my order?

Accepted Answer

Yes - free shipping is available on selected orders. Depending on the shipping zip code, orders may qualify if the total weight is under 10 lb.

If your order qualifies, you’ll see the free shipping option at checkout.

Question 5

What to write in Wedding Thank You Cards?

Accepted Answer

Personalized Wedding Thank You Cards are a fantastic way to show some love to your guests. Start with a cheerful greeting, let them know how grateful you are for their presence, mention their thoughtful gift, add a little personal touch, and wrap it up with warm wishes. Make each card unique to reflect something special for each guest.

Question 6

When should you send Wedding Thank You Cards?

Accepted Answer

It’s best to send your Wedding Thank You Cards as promptly as you can. For gifts received before the wedding, try to send cards within two to three weeks. For gifts received on or after the wedding, aim for within three months. Guests will expect a longer wait for a destination wedding but still aim to send within three months. Late cards are better than none, and there’s no doubt your guests will appreciate them.
