File Specs

The information will help you in preparing your files for the best possible printing quality at REACH360.

File Types

We accept most modern graphics formats. However, we work fastest with a print-ready PDF file. Some artwork charges may apply to accepting artwork in other formats. Artwork is billed at the rate of $85 per hour. See our terms and conditions for details.

Basic Instructions

Make sure you are using high resolution artwork for anything you want us to print. Low-res art is fine for a web page or email broadcast if you are doing a multi-channel campaign. When you bring us your file(s) also try to bring copies of your fonts and a printed sample of how the document should look. Make PDF files whenever possible.

Common File Templates

Ensure that your design will work through the production process by downloading our provided templates for use during the design phase of your projects.

Download and Install PDF Settings
