Artwork & Design
Do I need print-ready artwork?
No. If you already have suitable artwork, please check our Artwork Requirements before ordering. If you do not have print-ready artwork, we can create or prepare a layout for you through our Artwork Design Service.

More involved layout and composition with multiple images or logos, up to 1 hour of design time and 3 revisions.

What happens if my design needs more work than my package includes?
We will contact you before carrying out any additional design work. Extra work is charged at £30 per additional half-hour and is only carried out after you approve it.
Is printing included in the Artwork Design Service price?
No. The Artwork Design Service covers design and layout only. Printed products are purchased separately.
What information should I send for artwork design?
Please provide as much useful information as possible, including:
- the wording or text you need
- your preferred colours
- your logo, if you have one
- any images you would like included
- a short description of how you would like the design to look
- any relevant website or social media links
- any additional notes that may help us understand your requirements
What file types can I upload?
Where supported, you can upload files such as PDF, AI, EPS, SVG, JPG, JPEG and PNG.
Will I receive a proof before printing?
Yes. We will send you a PDF proof for approval before production.
What if I am not sure which artwork package I need?
Choose the package that most closely matches your requirements. If your job needs more design work than the selected package includes, we will contact you before carrying out or charging for any additional work.
I already have finished artwork. What should I do?
Please check our Artwork Requirements to make sure your file is suitable for printing.
Ordering & Production
How do I upload my artwork?
Where artwork upload is available on a product page, use the upload field provided before adding the product to your cart. Please check our Artwork Requirements first if you are supplying your own print-ready artwork.
Can you check my artwork before printing?
Yes. Supplied artwork is reviewed as part of the order process. If there is an obvious issue that prevents us from using the file, we can contact you before production.
Do you send a proof before production?
