Exhibition Packs

Shape

• The red line is the bleed line. Artwork must extend to this line. Any space between this line and the safe area line must only be used as a quiet area.
• The blue line is the finished line. This is the approximate perimeter of the visible area, after the graphic has been fitted to the unit.
• The green line is the safe area line. Important content (text, logos etc.) must be kept within this line.

Layers

Please note, this template contains a locked layer that is set to be non-printing. Any artwork elements that are put on this layer will not be included in exported PDFs, and will not be printed. Please check your exported artwork before sending it to us.

• Guide (Non-Printing) (locked). Must not contain any of your design elements. May be deleted, if desired.

Considerations

While we make every effort to finish these graphics as accurately and consistently as possible, due to the nature of printing, cutting and finishing fabrics, some material movement and minor imperfections in alignment can be introduced and cannot always be avoided. For this reason, important content, such as logos and text, should not escape the safe areas, and we highly recommend not attempting to span continuous or detailed shapes/lines/patterns/images/borders between front/rear or joining graphics.

Our thread colours are black or white. Our sewists will choose the most appropriate colour to complement your graphic. The only visible stitching when fitted is at the top and bottom of the left and right sides.

Currently, the dye-sublimation process does not allow for the use of Pantone colours. Any Pantone colours must either be converted to (or replaced with) CMYK colours before supplying your print-ready file.
