Phoenix Media File Prep:

NOTE: FILES MUST MEET THESE REQUIREMENTS BEFORE BEING UPLOADED!!!
 
:: All Raster/bitmap images must have a resolution of at least 300dpi.

:: Please add a 1/4” bleed to the outside edge of your artwork. i.e. if your finished final product is 4x6 your document needs to be set up as 4.25x6.25. Additionally, please keep all text and critical images at least 1/4" in from the finished final cut line.  If you have any questions about what this means, please ask us for a template.

:: Images MUST be flattened. (this applies to Raster/bitmap/Photoshop images)

:: Files we accept: JPEG, PDF, EPS, TIF, PSD, AI. (Please include outlines for all fonts if you are submitting an AI, PDF, or VECTOR based file, additionally make sure that all images are embedded in the file and are NOT linked!)

:: File Submission: Front and Back documents should be set up as two separate pages. Do not create both sides in a single file or page, and please do not set your project up as a 2-up or 4-up etc.....
