Everything clear before you order.
Every order gets a free file review before printing. Here's what to know about specs, artwork, proofing, and delivery.
Specifications
Quantity: 25, 50, 75, 100, 200, 250, 500, 1000, 2000, 2500, 3000, 4000, 5000, 6000, 7000, 8000, 9000, 10000. Configuration: Standard
Artwork requirements
Upload print-ready files as PDF (preferred), AI, EPS, JPG, or PNG at 300 DPI in CMYK color. Extend backgrounds 0.125" past the trim edge (bleed) and keep text and logos at least 0.125" inside it (safe area). Every file is checked by our team before production — if something's off, we'll contact you before anything prints.
Proofing and production
Production time starts after your artwork passes file review — not at checkout. If your order requires proof approval, we'll send the proof and the production clock starts once you approve it. Turnaround options for each product are shown in the configurator above.
Shipping and delivery
Delivery time is production time plus transit. Once your order ships you'll get a tracking number by email. Transit depends on your address and the shipping method selected at checkout — larger format items may ship separately from small-format printing.

Answers about artwork, production and ordering.
Can economy booklets print in black and white?
Yes — choose 1/1 black & white for text-heavy manuals and workbooks and the price drops further. Rush 2–3 business day turnaround is available too.
What page counts can I order?
8 to 64 pages, in multiples of four — that's how saddle-stitched sheets fold and staple. As a guide: 8–12 pages suits event programs and short guides; 16–24 pages fits product catalogs and course outlines; 32–48 pages handles full lookbooks and manuals; 56–64 is magazine scale. Page count includes the cover. Pricing updates live as you change the count.
How do I supply booklet artwork?
One multi-page PDF with pages in reading order — we handle imposition and binding, and our free file review confirms the setup before printing.
