Artwork Guidelines

File types

• Best: vector files, AI, PDF, EPS or SVG. They cut and print sharp at any size.
• Okay for printed graphics: high-resolution JPG, PNG or TIFF, at least 150 ppi at full print size.
• Not usable for cut signs: screenshots, images pulled from websites, and Word or PowerPoint files. We can redraw artwork from these for a design fee.

Before you send

• Convert text to outlines, or include the font files, so nothing changes on our end.
• Build at full size (1:1) when you can. If not, note the scale on the file.
• Call out colors with PMS numbers, or name the paint or vinyl color you want matched.
• Add bleed to printed panels that run to the edge. We’ll confirm the amount for your material on the proof.
• Include a sign list for multi-sign orders: sign type, text and quantity for each.

ADA signs

Send the room names and numbers, and we’ll handle the rest. Tactile text is set in a compliant uppercase sans-serif font and braille is added in production, so there’s no need to create braille in your file.

Sending files

• Attach files up to 25 MB to the request form on our 48-Hour Signs page or the contact page.
• For larger files, email a Dropbox, Google Drive or WeTransfer link to info@access48.com.

Proofs

Every job gets a proof before production. Please check spelling, sizes and colors carefully, since your approval is what we build from.
