Apira Limited needed pop up banner
Apira Limited needed a last minute banner. We purchased the gold design service and we weren't disappointed. Linda and Martin were great. They guided me through the process and helped me review and compile my artwork. We ordered the U Shaped pop up banner as we had a 3 metre x 2 metres and it worked well. Thanks again Linda and Martin for your patience and support.

Banner Design Improvements
We contacted Discount Displays regarding an advertising banner for our charity fundraising events. We are very pleased at how wonderful they were, and the amazing banner they made and printed. They were even able to adjust the size of the banner for our needs. The banner looks exactly like our design image, and so easy to carry around and transport to fundraising events. We would highly recommend Discount Displays for all your advertising needs. Thank you.

Very helpful
I went with the in house design for my banners and the designers were very helpful and stayed in close contact with me throughout. I confirmed my final design late on a Friday afternoon and the banners arrived 10 am Monday morning. The banners look AMAZING.

Artwork

Whether you're a novice or a professional when it comes to artwork, we're here to give you the guidance needed to make sure your end result is print perfect.

I don't have print ready artwork, can you design it for me?

If you have the elements, such as text, logos, and text, we can take these and create a print ready design layout for you at a small additional cost. We have a number of affordable set price packages available to suit any requirements. Many of our products have a design service as an additional extra for instant ordering. For products that don't please contact us to discuss your brief. Visit our in-house design service page to find out more.

I will be supplying print ready artwork.

Many of our print products have the option to upload your artwork on the product page. If that option is not available, you will receive an email shortly after placing your order with instructions on how to send your artwork files.

In order to avoid any delays in production, please follow our guidelines below to make sure your artwork is ready to go. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch to talk to one of our team.

Resolution - 100dpi At Full Size

Generally, 100 dpi is a good standard for images with the document size set at full size of the large format printed product. For example, if you want to order a 40"×60" print, the image size should be 4000 pixels (40 x 100) by 6000 pixels (60 x 100) at 100 dpi.

100% scale at 100 dpi
50% scale at 200 dpi
25% scale at 400 dpi
10% scale at 1000 dpi

If any dimension of the product is greater than 5000mm, please produce the artwork to scale. For very large artwork such as hoarding walls, 10% scale can be utilised at 1000dpi for images, or use vectors as these will scale perfectly.

Bleed - 5mm All Around At The Final Print Size

If you are creating set size artwork for hardware then please use the product template. If you have ordered a custom size product please ensure you include 5mm of bleed on your design.

You only need to add print bleed to your artwork if the design extends to the edge of the page. If all of your text and images are in the centre of the design and are surrounded by a plain white background, you won’t need to worry about print bleed as the edges will blend seamlessly into your overall design. If any element of the design goes right up to the edge of the page, a 5mm bleed on all sides is necessary.

Instructional diagram for print design showing the process of adding a 5mm bleed to artwork for printing, with stages including initial layout with crop marks, designated trim line, and the final trimmed sign, emphasizing the necessity of bleed for designs extending to the page edge.

Colours - Please Supply All Colours As CMYK+

Computer screens use RGB, while printers use CMYK. You may ask why this matters? Most colours created in RGB can be closely matched in CMYK but some cannot. If colours are critical we always suggest ordering a printed proof.

Other things you can do to check your colours:

- Use a calibrated monitor (colours vary from monitor to monitor)
- Use a printed CMYK colour swatch to check your colours
- Don't check samples from a desktop printer
- Order a printed proof from us (this may cause an increase in lead time)

Fonts - Please Embed, Flatten, Or Convert To Curves

For large format print, we recommend that the minimum font site is 8pt (point size).

Our preferred file format for print-ready artwork is a PDF, please make sure you embed any fonts for perfect results. With other file formats please ensure fonts used in your design are converted to outlines and include all fonts and images used when you send your files to us.

Do You Need A Proof?

If you are providing print ready artwork, we do not provide a proof as standard, which enables us to get your print to you quicker. If you require a proof please get in touch with us to discuss. We do provide a free technical file check as standard, as outlined below.

We can provide a machine print proof for the extra cost of £25 plus delivery. This involves printing an A3 proof on the machine that will be used to produce your final print. This will give you an accurate representation of colour. If you are using our design service, we do send out a PDF proof, which is an accurate representation of content and positioning. It is not an exact indicator of the final colour due to the limitations of screens.

Quoted delivery dates for print are from approval of artwork, so please bear in mind that requesting a proof may delay the delivery date of your product.

Delivery

After you have placed your order a provisional despatch and delivery date will be sent to you via email.

Our standard delivery time for printed products is 2-5 working days after artwork has been approved for print. If you have a specific deadline, please contact us to ensure we can meet this. Please check that your artwork meets the guidelines above to prevent any delays in approval.

Free Artwork Check

Before we go to print, we will carry out a free technical check on your artwork. If there are any issues, we will contact you to let you know what needs to be changed.

What's Included
What's Not Included
  • File format
  • File size
  • Resolution
  • Fonts
  • Colours
  • Spelling and Grammar Mistakes
  • Positioning

Colour Matching

Our printers and media are of the highest standard and are carefully calibrated to produce vibrant, full colour prints. The process involves CMYK printing and this means it is not always possible to match Pantone colours, but they will be converted to the nearest CMYK equivalent.

If exact colour matching is critical, please send us a physical copy of other printed material, such as a letterhead or brochure, and we will check your file prior to printing. If we cannot achieve a reasonable match we will call you to discuss.

Please send any physical examples to: Discount Displays, 31-35 Wortley Road, Croydon, Surrey, CRO 3EB.

FAQs
Q. Can you do a design concept for me?
A. The purpose of our artwork layout service is to take your images, text and logos to create print-ready artwork give you a professional look for your signs based on your brief. We do not source any images or create design concepts from a blank sheet as this falls outside of the scope of what we offer.

Q. What do I need to provide?
A. Please supply all elements such as images, logos and text and any colour preferences you may have, as well as guidance as to how you would like it laid out. You will be sent an artwork brief form link when you place your order.

Q. Can you create a logo for me?
A. We do not offer a logo design service.

Q. Can you improve my existing logo?
A. Yes we offer a vectorising service. Which involves redrawing your existing low-resolution logo and converting it into a vectored version that can be printed at any size without losing quality. We do not make changes/ adjustments to your logo.

Q. Can you find images for me??
A. In order to create your print-ready artwork, we will need all images to be supplied to us, and we cannot source them for you. There are many libraries of images that offer free and paid for images on the internet (such as Adobe stock or Unsplash). When choosing an image from a library please make sure it is the biggest size available to ensure good reproduction at your final print size. If you need any advice please give our team a call or speak to us on chat.
