File Preparation

Artwork Orientation & Page Set-Up

Products with Two Pages

If your product has two sides, the orientation of your two pages will determine how the sides will be printed in relation to each other. When you upload your files, you must upload one file as „Front“ and the other one as „Back“ (“F” and “B” in the diagrams).

If both pages have the same orientation (landscape or portrait) they will be printed top to top and bottom to bottom.

If you combine landscape with portrait (one file is portrait, the other one landscape), the back’s top will be printed on the front’s left.

Products with Folds

Products with folds (e.g. greeting cards, foldover business cards) are also uploaded as front (cover and back cover) and back (inside pages). The dotted line in the diagram resembles the scoring line.

Envelopes are actually products with folds as well. 4/4-Envelopes are basically set up like the front side of landscape greeting cards – please use our template!

Multi-Page Products

When setting up your pages for multi-page products like catalogs and calendars, you must set them up as single pages and not as spreads. If you order a catalog with 8 pages you will have 8 separate files. You can either upload each page separately (select “Numbered Page” in the dropdown menu on the upload page) or upload all pages in one Zip-File (select “Zip” in the dropdown menu on the upload page).

Please make sure all your filenames include the correct page number in an unmistakable manner! The front cover is page number 1.
