What's Included In Your File Check Artwork Service?

File Check -  Don't stress, we got you. 

Double-check before you print! Our File Check option is perfect for those who have put their best effort into designing their artwork but want additional assurance before sending it off for printing. Within File Check, we meticulously inspect your artwork file, ensuring it meets our printing standards. Our expert Pre-Press team combines automated and manual checks to scrutinise over 60 technical aspects, guaranteeing your file is print-ready. 

 

If your file passes inspection, we'll proceed with printing. However, if we identify an issue, we'll kindly inform you via email, providing details on how to resolve it.

 

It's important to note that while we focus on technical factors, we don't verify content for spelling, grammar, or copy errors.

For a full breakdown of the 60-point checks we perform, please see here.

 

We will accept a Print Ready PDF, as well as Print Ready EPS, TIF or JPG files.
