To allow leeway for cutting differences in production, always add a bleed of 5 mm around all edges of your design. Make sure colours, background pictures and layouts extend into the bleed area so as to avoid leaving white lines as a result of cutting tolerances. You can submit your file with crop marks and printer's marks.
Keep all important text and images at least 10 mm away from the edge of the finished size.
Make sure the resolution of the images and graphics in your artwork are at least 150 dpi.
Prepare your files using CMYK as the colour mode, not RGB. Use colourmode FOGRA39 (ISO Coated v2) for coated papertypes and colourmode FOGRA47 (PSO Uncoated ISO12647) for uncoated papertypes. If you are unsure of the colour mode of your file, don't worry we can always convert this for you. Keep in mind this can cause the colours to differ from the original file.
Save your files in uneditable, print-ready file formats (PDF (1.4 or higher), TIFF, EPS, JPG). Deliver your files in one layer: the background layer.
If you want your product to be cut to a custom shape, you will have to add it as a vector shape on top of your design. Make sure the width of the stroke is 1 pt, the colour is a 100% magenta spot and named "cutcontour". You only need to add one contour line. If you want us to adjust it for you, please send the custom shape on a separate page in the desired position.
Please note that bleed is still needed for custom shaped designs, meaning your design must go at least 5 mm past the contour cut line.
Make sure you convert fonts to outlines or embed all the fonts when saving it to PDF.
With a minimum font size of 20 pt (30 pt for white text) make sure your text is readable.
Make sure no elements in your artwork are set on overprint unless you want this effect in your design. You can read more about overprint in our Help Centre.

The distance between the centre of the hole and the edge of the panel is a standard 8 mm. Keep this in mind when ordering a very small sign, as this could be drilled into the main area of your artwork. For more information regarding your design, see the submission specifications.
The standard diameter of the drilled holes is 5mm.
Yes, they are! We would also recommend our Photo on Aluminium, for a beautiful wall decoration that you can personalise in our editor.
For the production of Dibond Business Signs (Aluminium), we use the following technique(s):
UV-print: The product is printed with eco-friendly UV ink, which is immediately cured with a UV light. Curing ensures that the wet ink doesn't spread once printed, offering sharper quality prints.
• Latex-print: The film is printed with eco-friendly latex inks. These inks are water based and doesn't contain harmful substances. The latex film is very secure and sturdy, and will be placed on top of the material.
All materials are printed directly onto the panel. Except for trespa, where a latex based foil gets printed on the panel.
