How do I set up my artwork for print? arrow

How do I set up my artwork for print?

Do you 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. 

What is 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. 

What is 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. 

What’s 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 Gicée Fine Art Prints, Photographic Prints or Mugs, please set up your artwork in CMYK. 

Why do I need to embed 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.

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.

What are Backlit Menus? arrow

What are Backlit Menus?

Backlit Menus provide specialised printing on backlit film, expertly crafted to illuminate and showcase your offerings and Menu design. This creates a clear and engaging presentation that enhances visibility and aesthetics when placed on top of a lightbox. Ideal for restaurants and bars, these Menus contribute to an inviting and attractive atmosphere.

What material is used for Backlit Menus? arrow

What material is used for Backlit Menus?

Backlit Menu printing utilises a robust backlit film, specifically designed to be illuminated from behind. This film adds depth and character to the graphics, ensuring your menu items stand out, even in dim lighting. The durability of the material allows for seamless transitions from day to night, making it perfect for businesses that operate late into the evening.

Which lamination is best for my Backlit Menus? arrow

Which lamination is best for my Backlit Menus?

Our laminations are designed to protect your prints and enhance their durability. Gloss lamination offers a high-shine, scratch-resistant finish that's wipeable, whilst matt lamination provides a sophisticated, luxurious appearance.

What are Versions? arrow

What are Versions?

Our Versions service lets you print multiple designs using the same product specifications. For instance, if you have five different Backlit Menu 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 printed Backlit Menus.
