Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about marketing materials, file preparation, turnaround times, paper options, and ordering your next print project.

  • What file formats do you accept?

    We recommend submitting print-ready PDF files whenever possible. We also accept Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, and other common design formats. Be sure to include all linked images and fonts when supplying native files.

  • Can you help if my artwork isn't print-ready?

    Absolutely. Our prepress team can review your files and identify any issues before production. We can also assist with file preparation and make recommendations to help ensure the best possible print quality.

  • What paper stocks and finishes are available?

    We offer a variety of paper stocks, weights, coatings, and specialty finishes. Options include gloss, matte, soft-touch coatings, foil stamping, embossing, and more. We'll help you select the right combination for your project and budget.

  • How quickly can my project be printed?

    Turnaround times vary based on the product, quantity, finishing requirements, and shipping needs. Many projects can be produced within a few business days, while larger or more complex orders may require additional time.

  • Is there a minimum order quantity?

    Minimum quantities vary by product and production method. Whether you need a short digital run or a large offset print order, we'll recommend the most cost-effective solution for your project.

  • Can you provide a printed proof before production?

    Yes. Depending on the project, we can provide digital proofs and, in some cases, printed proofs for approval before the final run begins. This helps ensure accuracy and gives you confidence before production starts.

  • Do you offer mailing services for postcards and direct mail campaigns?

    Yes. We can assist with mailing lists, variable data printing, addressing, sorting, and postal preparation to help streamline your direct mail campaigns from start to finish.

  • What's the difference between digital and offset printing?

    Digital printing is ideal for shorter runs, quick turnarounds, and personalized pieces. Offset printing is typically more cost-effective for larger quantities and offers excellent color consistency across long runs.
