Design and Artwork

Strong design is essential for professional print results, but technical accuracy is just as important. In our Design & Artwork category, we focus on helping businesses and designers prepare files correctly, reduce revisions, and avoid production delays.

Our articles explain topics such as setting up bleed and safe margins, choosing colour modes, exporting PDFs, outlining fonts, and preparing files for different finishing processes. We also share best practices for layout, typography, and visual hierarchy to ensure designs translate well from screen to print.

You’ll find guidance on adapting designs for various print products, understanding resolution requirements, and managing artwork across multiple formats and sizes. We also address frequent issues such as colour shifts, trimming risks, and alignment tolerances so expectations remain realistic before production begins.

Whether you’re designing in-house or working with an agency, this category serves as a practical reference for producing clean, accurate, and production-ready artwork. Browse the articles below to improve file preparation and achieve reliable print outcomes every time.
