Supported Software

We regularly work with a wide range of software applications. If you are planning on sending us a file, it may help to look at the list below. If your application is not listed, please call us so we can make sure your project is handled according to our high standards.

We recommend using one the following software applications:

• Adobe Illustrator
• Adobe InDesign
• Microsoft Word
• Canva

Other programs can be used as long as they have the ability to convert your file to PDF. See the guide below for the correct export settings. If you ever have trouble with getting a file ready for print, please contact us! Our team of designers can help you make sure that your files are ready for production.

Export Settings

For Illustrator and InDesign files, please add at least 1/8th in (0.125 in) bleed in the Document Settings. Make sure that any images or background elements extend to or past the red bleed line. Please see our "Supported File Formats" page for more information.
