How to use our template downloads

In many places in this website you will see download icons

We receive many files from customers who have done their own artwork and in order to facilitate this we have included templates for Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator/Freehand.

We do this to ensure that the resolution and colour mode (in the case of Photoshop) is correct and that there is sufficient image bleed at the edge of the design.

Photoshop Downloads

We have created blank templates which are set to the correct size, resolution and colour mode for our out put. You will see light blue guides near the edge of the image - these are to show where the guillotine will cut. In order to make a neat job, we need you to continue your image (if you want any part of it to run off the edge) to the edge of the file, beyond the blue line. This is called the bleed area and will be cut off. If your design has no need to run off the edge, please stay within the blue guides (imagine them as the edge of the print - so stay approx 5mm at least inside).

Important - please do not alter the resolution, size or colour mode of the templates - this will result in unexpected print results.
