How should I prepare my artwork files for printing?

2026-08-19

To ensure smooth production and the best printing results, please prepare your artwork files according to the following requirements:

 

1.All files should be submitted as PDF documents.

2.All files should be in CMYK color mode.Please confirm if any spot colors are required, as spot colors may increase production costs and process complexity.

3.Images should have a resolution of 300 ppi or above.

4.All files should include 3mm bleed and maintain at least 3mm margin/safe area.

5.Black text, barcodes, and other pure black elements should use 100% K black (C:0% M:0% Y:0% K:100%).

6.Fonts should be embedded in the PDF files.


Please make sure that all text, images, and design content in your files are correct before submission. Bestrand Printing will only check whether the files meet printing production requirements. The accuracy of the artwork content, including spelling, images, and layout, is not included in our file checking process.

How does the production process work from inquiry to delivery? What quality assurance measures do you have?

Our production process is straightforward and transparent.   Here’s how it typically works:

Inquiry & Specification – You provide your project details, including product type, quantity, size, paper stock, binding, and finishing requirements (lamination, embossing, foil stamping, etc.).

Quotation & Confirmation – We send you a detailed quote. Once you confirm, we move to the next step.

File Review & Sample Production – You provide your print-ready PDF files (300 DPI recommended, with 3mm bleed included). We review the files for technical issues and produce a physical sample for your approval.

Sample Approval & Deposit – After you approve the sample, you pay the 50% deposit to start mass production.

Mass Production & In-line QC – We manufacture your order using our full-scale offset printing presses (e.g., Heidelberg). Throughout production, we conduct multiple quality checks — including color density verification, registration accuracy, and binding strength tests — to ensure consistency and quality.

Final Payment & Shipment – Once production is complete and final quality inspection (FQI) passes, we notify you to arrange the 50% balance payment. After payment is confirmed, we ship the order and provide shipping details.

We also offer pre-press technical support to help you with file setup — including providing die-cut templates and bleed guides if needed. And yes, we welcome client inspections during or after production. If you’re not able to visit in person, we can arrange remote inspection via video call or send detailed photos for your review.
