Vinyl Wrap Print Guidelines

File size and artwork dimensions

• Maximum file size: 1 GB.
• Artwork width: Make your artwork at least 0.5″ narrower than the media you select. For example, artwork printed on 60″ media should be no wider than 59.5″.
• Artwork size: Set up your file at the size you want it printed whenever possible. Smaller-scale files are accepted too. If you send a smaller file, tell us the final print size and scale in your order comments.
• Raster image resolution: Make sure your image has enough resolution for its final print size. Enlarging a low-resolution image can make it look blurry or pixelated.

Color

For standard artwork: We recommend sending RGB artwork with the sRGB IEC61966-2.1 color profile embedded. This gives our print software a consistent reference when converting colors for the selected printer and material.

For artwork using Printara Colors: Use the LAB values shown for the color. In Illustrator, create a LAB-defined spot-color swatch and keep it as a spot color in your vector file and production PDF. Preserving the spot-color definition is the preferred way to carry the Printara color target into production.

Prepare your artwork

• Images: Use an image resolution that suits the final print size. Low-resolution images may look blurry or pixelated.
• Fonts and placed images: In vector files, convert fonts to outlines, curves, or paths. Embed any images placed in your file.
• Artboard: Crop the artboard closely around your full design. Any blank space inside the artboard may be included in the printed output.

Accepted file types

We accept PDF, PSD/PSB, TIFF, JPEG, PNG, AI, EPS, and SVG files. To preserve Printara LAB spot colors, submit vector artwork or a PDF with spot colors retained. For raster artwork, submit a Lab-mode PSD, PSB, or TIFF.

Before you submit

Please send files that are ready to print. If your file is smaller than the intended print size, include the final size and scale in your order comments.

Printara may decline files that do not meet these guidelines. We do not review or correct every submitted file, so please check your artwork before sending it.
