Submitting Artwork For our satin-Wrapped® matches

1. Please provide artwork within 24 hours of placing your order, using the form below

2. Use these instructions in conjunction with our satin-Wrapped 20-Strike Book Template

3.Files should be HIGH RESOLUTION .jpg or .png. Resolution should be at least 300 DPI when you first create the file. Please do not create at, or send 72 DPI (that’s for web graphics). You cannot make your resolution higher, once your design is created – it just don’t work that way! If you have trouble sending, you can send a dropbox, google drive, icloud, or similar link.

4. The print area is approximately 1.25 inches wide and 1.125 inches tall *** it is wider than it is tall ***

5. We strongly recommend: no fine lines, no small print. A bold, crisp, simple image is best. *** There should be NO BIG DIFFERENCE IN TEXT SIZES within the design. Your fine print shouldn’t be too much smaller than the larger text, or it won’t be legible. This is such a common issue – please avoid!

6. please submit all artwork as .png files with transparent background. If you’re ordering black, you’ll need to beef up the SIZE and WEIGHT of your lines – fine, pale lines on black will go bye-bye. Choose a color that has a strong contrast with the book color – blue on blue won’t really show up too well, etc.

7. We now offer a print proof for an additional $5, but rest assured you’ll be notified of any issues either way. please refer to photos in terms of the quality and overall look of the product.

***** We strongly recommend printing the design to the size indicated above, to see if it’s legible before you submit *****

If you are not sure you’ll be able to complete these steps, no worries! Please add the “extra help” option, or contact us – you’ll get the best quality print, guaranteed.
