1. In order to obtain the best possible quality for your print job, please review the following guidelines for preparing your file:

  • Accepted file types are jpg, psd and tiff. If you are not sure on the file type you have, just place the order with the file you have and we will try to convert it.  We will not print anything if there are size or file problems.  Max size per file to upload is 2MB. If the size is more than 2mb you can email the files to [email protected] along with your order number.
  • Minimum file resolution is 300dpi.
  • Please keep all text/logos at least 1/8th - 1/4 of an inch away from the edge of the design. This is the safe area to allow room for cutting and trimming. We suggest not using borders because it is almost impossible to have the border on all sides even with our gang print run process.  Sometimes during the cutting process, the sheets tend to move slightly.
  • The best 4 color "black" is Cyan 30%, Magenta 30%, Yellow 30% & Black 100%.
  • All files must be "flattened."
  • We tag some jobs with "printed by fivestargraphics.com" unless requested otherwise.  This is a standard practice in the printing industry.
  • Fonts & images should be embedded in the file. We are unable to accept attached fonts or images unless a design is needed and ordered.


2. The outer edge of your artwork is considered a (safe area) that is used for cutting.  No important text or images should be put within this area for safety. An 1/8 of an inch is the minimum required, but we recommend you to use a 1/4 inch for better results.

Here is an example of the correct way to submit your files:




The sample below will show you how the same file
comes out when submitted incorrectly.




Please notice in the above sample, the file was designed with all of the text and graphics right up to the corner edge. In the end result, the cutting of logos, text, and graphics will occur.
