PDF is best. We also accept EPS, TIF, JPG and DOC files, and most files made in Adobe Creative Suite. Upload your front and back artwork on the order page.

The same way you would for regular printing. If your design goes all the way to the edge of the paper, add bleed (see below). Our pre-press team checks every file for bleed, crop marks and resolution.

Bleed is extra artwork past the edge of the page, so colors and images reach the edge after trimming with no white margin. Make your file 0.125 inches bigger on every side. For example, an 8.5 x 11 menu should be submitted at 8.75 x 11.25 inches.

Keep important text and images at least 0.25 inches inside the trim line.

Keep a safety margin of at least 0.25 inches inside the trim. If your menu has a border, keep it at least 0.25 inches from the edge so it looks even on every side. Thicker borders look best after trimming.

We recommend 300 dpi. The higher the resolution, the sharper your photos and text will print.

We send a proof if we see a problem with your file or if we're designing the menu for you. If you'd like to see a preview before we print, just ask.

If your file needs adjustments, our pre-press team can fix it at a prorated rate of $75 an hour.

You do. You're responsible for the accuracy of your artwork, so please proofread your menu carefully before you upload it.

Yes. By sending us your artwork, you confirm that you're allowed to use every image in it. If you don't own the copyright, you need permission from whoever does. We may refuse an order without giving a reason.
