Layers

• Instructions (locked). Can be turned off or removed before exporting your print-ready file, if desired.

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 blue line is the finished line. Approximate perimeter of the visible area.
• The green dashed line is the safe area line. Important content (text, logos etc.) must be kept within these areas.

• 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.

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.

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. For this reason, we highly recommend not wrapping continuous or detailed shapes between front and rear graphics. (applicable only to double-sided graphics)

Layers

Please note, these templates contain 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.

Assembly Recommendations

1. Snap together the frame pieces, using the indicated number stickers.
2. Using the included gloves, slide the graphic over the frame. (To avoid the internal hems creating an uneven finish along the edge of the unit, apply the graphic twisted about 30-50mm towards the left or right. Slowly pull the graphic to the bottom of the frame. You will now have part of the rear graphic on the front, or vice-versa. Once the graphic is pulled as far downwards as possible, grip both left and right sides of the frame and twist the graphic into the correct position.)
3. Fasten the zip under the bottom edge of the frame.
4. Using the provided allen key, screw the frame into the base.

Notice

Stretch Fabric Premium stands are recommended for indoor use only, and are not suitable for outdoor use.

Please note, due to the nature of fabrics that are not completely opaque, when these graphics are subject to strong lighting (especially from above or behind), some visibility of the frame through the graphic is possible. To avoid this, we recommend limiting the amount of light above or behind the unit, as well as adjusting the positioning of the unit.

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. For this reason, we highly recommend not wrapping continuous or detailed shapes between front and rear graphics.

Graphics can be washed in a regular washing machine on a 30° wash without detergents. Always allow graphics to completely dry before using or storing.
