How to Prepare Artwork for Printing

A clear artwork brief helps avoid repeated changes. Confirm the finished size, printing sides, material and finishing before preparing the file.

Confirm the job first

Write down the finished dimensions, quantity, paper or material, printing sides and finishing. Ask the production team to confirm the required file format, resolution, bleed and colour settings for this specific job.

Check your content

Review every name, phone number, address and spelling before you approve artwork. Keep an editable source copy and export the production file in the format the business requests.

Send a complete brief

Include your artwork, specifications, preferred deadline and contact details in one quotation request. Approval of a preview should confirm the intended size and content before production begins.
