Trespa Signs (High Pressure Laminate)

You can download our guides and templates in the template section. Remember to delete the template layers before exporting your design to PDF.

If you already have a design, no worries; we accept other file formats, including JPEG, PNG, or EPS.

For photographic content, high-resolution JPEGs are recommended, preferably without compression. For graphics or text-based content, we recommend print-ready, vector-based PDFs. For content that is a combination of graphics and photography, we suggest using print-ready PDFs to ensure the best quality.

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.

Prepare your files using CMYK as the colour mode, not RGB. Use colourmode FOGRA39 (ISO Coated v2). 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.

As standard, white is not printed on transparent stickers. Your design will be translucent and semi see-through. White areas in your design will be transparent.
If you choose full colour print with white, you will need to submit your design as a vector file. The colours in your design will be more vivid.
If you choose white only printing, you will need to submit your artwork as a vector file.

Make sure the resolution of the images and graphics in your artwork are at least 150 dpi.

During production, there might be a slight cut deviation. To avoid any issues, we recommend the following:

• Add a 5 mm bleed around all edges of your design.
• Keep important elements 10 mm away from the edge or folding lines.

For this product, the minimum font size is 12 pt. To avoid any issues, we recommend the following:

• Fonts must be embedded or outlined.
• If your design contains small black text, make sure it is 100 % black (Cyan: 0 Magenta: 0 Yellow: 0 Black: 100).

Note that we don't check spelling or typographical errors.

The lines should be at least 3 pt.

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.
