Design guidelines

Need help with your design?

Our team of professional designers can adjust your artwork or create custom artwork for you. Upload your design with peace of mind! Or reach out directly to us after ordering through our contact form or live chat.

We recommend using our templates and guides for preparing your print-ready PDF.

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.

Use CMYK as the color mode.

Prepare your files using CMYK as the color mode, not RGB. Use color mode FOGRA39 (ISO Coated v2). If you are unsure of the color 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.

Resolution of at least 300 dpi.

Make sure the resolution of the images and graphics in your artwork are at least 300 dpi.

Add 0.125(in) bleed and keep 0.125(in) safety margin

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

Add a 0.125 inch bleed around all edges of your design.
Keep important elements 0.125 inches away from the edge or folding lines.
Avoid using borders or frames on smaller formats like labels or business cards.

Text and fonts specifications (Min. font size is 6 pt)

For this product, the minimum font size is 6 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.

Check line thickness.

Lines should be at least 0.25 pt. Negative lines should be at least 0.5 pt.

Check your artwork for overprint.

Make sure no elements in your artwork are set on overprint unless you want this effect in your design.

Make sure the ink coverage isn't higher than 300%.

Force Color Images to CMYK with a 260% ink limit (in Photoshop > Convert Color Profile > Photoshop 5 Default CMYK). Make sure the ink coverage isn't higher than 300%.

What is a 11 x 17 poster best used for?

An 11x17 poster, also known as tabloid size, is perfect for promoting events, displaying announcements, or sharing key information in high-traffic indoor areas. It’s large enough to grab attention, yet small enough to fit on bulletin boards, windows, or narrow wall spaces. Many businesses use it for flyers, menus, or event schedules where space is limited but visibility is important.

Are 11 x 17 prints available in full color?

Yes, all 11 x 17 poster printing includes full-color options using high-resolution digital or offset printing. This ensures vibrant images and crisp text, whether you're printing promotional flyers or photo-based designs.

Can I write on an 11 x 17 poster?

Absolutely. If you choose an uncoated or matte finish, 11 x 17 posters are easy to write on with pens or markers. This makes them perfect for hand-signing, appointment scheduling, or creating writable checklists.

How big is an 11 x 17 poster in inches and centimeters?

An 11 x 17 poster measures 11 inches wide by 17 inches tall (279 mm x 432 mm). It's larger than a standard sheet of paper (8.5 x 11) but small enough to post in limited spaces.
