Services

Files that run clean the first time.

Every shop, machine and material has its own requirements. We build the file to fit your production, not the other way around.

01

Production file preparation

Client artwork turned into press-ready files: correct bleed and trim, safe margins, outlined or embedded fonts, right color mode and resolution. Delivered preflight-checked.

02

Large-format artwork

Banners, posters, signs, wall and window graphics set up at the right scale and file structure, with panel splits where the job needs it.

03

Vinyl & sticker cut files

Contour and cut paths, kiss-cut and die-cut setups for decals, labels and stickers. Clean vector paths for plotters and cutters.

04

Vectorization & cleanup

Low-resolution logos and rough client files rebuilt as clean vector artwork that scales to any size.

05

Color & material setup

Spot colors, CMYK conversions, overprint and white-ink layers, set up for the material and process your shop runs.

06

Any file, built to your spec

Send your specs or a sample of a file that ran well. We match format, color setup, bleed, cut paths, scale, layers and naming.

Need the artwork designed from scratch? We do that too, whenever the job calls for it.

How it works

Three steps, no back-and-forth.

 

1. Send artwork & specs

Your printer or material, final size and any spec sheet you have.

2. We build & preflight

Files are prepared to your production and checked before they leave us.

3. Receive production-ready files

Ready to send to the press, plotter or cutter.
