Stretch Fabric Displays

Layers

• Instructions (locked). Can be turned off or removed before exporting your print-ready file, if desired.
• Areas & Marks Overlay (locked). Must only be used as an overlay, and must not contain any design elements. Must be either turned off or removed before exporting your print-ready file
• Design. Should be used to create and supply your design.

Areas & Marks

• 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 purple line is the trim line. The material is cut along this path.
• The blue line is the finished line. Perimeter of the visible area, after finishing.
• The green dashed line is the safe area line. Important content (text, logos etc.) must be kept within these areas.
• The grey line is the stitching line. Indicates the location of stitching along the pole pocket. This is on a separate layer that can be viewed, if desired. (Applicable only to single-sided graphics)

Artwork Requirements

Artwork must be supplied:

• Including both pages (even if they are the same design). (Applicable only to double-sided graphics)
• With any fonts outlined
• With any images embedded
• Including the document bleed
• With any template elements (such as lines, boxes and markings) removed
• As either PDF (preferred), AI or EPS format

Please also refer to our full list of artwork requirements.

Artwork Sections

To aid your design creation, please refer to the indicated artwork sections. The diagram and labels below correspond to the template.

Due to the shape and curvature of the graphic, we recommend that most primary content is kept within the ‘mid face’ section of the safe area. This will ensure maximum visibility of the content. However, any content within the whole safe area will be fully visible.

Artwork should be supplied for the ‘lower bend’ section, since it is visible. However, it should only be used as a quiet area.

Artwork can optionally be supplied for the ‘underneath’ section, but this should only be used as a quiet area.

While the rear side can be used for content, the angle of the curve is not as suited for viewing as the front. If the rear side is used for content, only the ‘upper face’ and ‘mid face’ sections should be used. All sections below these should only be used as a quiet area.

Considerations

Our thread colours are black or white. Our sewists will choose the most appropriate colour to complement your graphic.

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.
