For your convenience we provide an area for you to FTP artwork to be used for your promotional product customization.

Please follow the directions below:
  1. Upload your file below

  2. Please contact us and let us know you uploaded a file.

Upload this file:
File specs to consider:
  1. We accept files saved from the following design software programs: Adobe Photoshop¨ CS, Adobe Illustrator® CS, Adobe InDesign® CS, Adobe PageMaker, Macromedia Freehand®, QuarkXpress®.
    Accepted File Types - We accept the following image formats: .JPG, .TIF, .PSD, .PDF, .PS and .EPS. Macintosh users must add this 3 letter file extension before uploading.

    We can also use raster images (.tiff and .jpegs) independent of the application program used to create such designs if they are submitted at high-quality, uncompressed 300 dpi resolution, 8 bit, CMYK color mode. We can not guarantee files created in MS-Word or MS-Publisher will produce high-quality images and text. Please refer to your user manual or software vendor for information on how to output a print-ready raster image that meets PsPrint specifications.

    Please note that if you have an artwork file in any other format (e.g., word document), we encourage you to create a PDF file that can be uploaded.

  2. For most printing jobs, 300 dots per inch (DPI) is the minimum resolution to guarantee acceptable printing results. For larger products such as large format posters and banners, we recommend sharper resolution which can range from 300 to 1200 dpi, depending on the intended use of the printed piece.

  3. It is important that you supply all fonts used in your layout. If you do not supply fonts in your artwork file, we will request that you resubmit your files with fonts included.

    If you have vector artwork and your file is missing fonts, you can open your file in Illustrator, select "Create Outlines", save your fonts, re-save your artwork file, and then upload it.

    If you have artwork that is rasterized, you can open your file in Photoshop and select "Flatten the Layers", re-save your artwork file, and then upload it.

    Please do not submit your fonts seperately from your file because it is critical that we receive your print-ready file with fonts included to avoid any printing issues.

If you need further assistance with uploading a file to our website, please don't hesitate to let us know! We're always here to help!
