FILE SETUP
How do I prepare files for printing in New Zealand?
To prepare files for printing, export your design as a high-resolution PDF with correct dimensions, bleed, and margins. This ensures your print comes out sharp, aligned, and professional. If you’re looking for the easiest way to order print in NZ, Print Monday makes the process simple from file upload to delivery.
What file format should I use?
The best format for printing is:
- PDF (preferred)
You can also use:
- AI, PSD, or high-resolution PNG
Print Monday makes it easy to upload your file and get started quickly - whether you’re printing stickers, business cards, or other branded materials.
What is bleed and why does it matter?
Bleed is the extra space around your design that ensures there are no white edges after trimming.
Without bleed:
- Your design may be cut unevenly
- White edges can appear
Adding bleed ensures a clean, professional finish.
What are common file mistakes?
Avoid these common issues:
- Low-resolution images
- Missing bleed
- Incorrect sizing
- Fonts not outlined or embedded
Print Monday helps reduce errors with a simple upload process and guidance if needed. If you’re planning your timing, it also helps to know how long printing takes in New Zealand.
Do I need design experience?
