Be sized to the correct size for print
Be labeled with correct Pantone® Solid Coated colors
Have all text converted to outlines
Vector Files (.ai .eps) Strongly Recommended*
It is required that you convert all text to outlines, if you don’t, the font will not be the same as the one you chose for your design.
Size artwork to the correct size for print.
Embed any linked files, but also provide the support file separately.
Raster images placed within vector art must be 300dpi and sized to print size.
Convert all colors in your artwork to spot colors. Label each swatch with the corresponding Pantone® Solid Coated color, or choose one from the Pantone® Solid Coated color book.

All raster images must be submitted in their original color space (RGB or CMYK). Please do not convert from one to the other. RGB color space is recommended for full process orders.

Right-click one of the files. A menu will appear.

In the menu, click Send to and select Compressed (zipped) folder.
