How to Customize Large to Small Scale Print Products
Follow these steps to create the custom printing product you need for every kind of promotion:
Order an offset printing or sign product.
- Offset printing is the technique used to transfer an inked image from a plate to a rubber blanket, and then onto the printing surface. It ensures high-quality output for large quantities. It is the method used for bulk printing orders such as brochures, flyers, posters, postcards, and business cards.
- Sign printing is for larger format displays such as banners, window clings, yard signs, plastic signs, flags, and magnets. The sign you print will depend on the material and the size.
Combine width and length specs that will garner attention at a glance. Widths start from 2” up to 26”. Heights also go from 2” to as tall as 18”. If you want to see how the final design will appear before it’s printed, select “Wait – I want to receive and approve a free PDF proof” after uploading your file.
You can also use our online design tool to load a blank canvas in the size selected.
Print on sturdy paper or cardstock to showcase the reliability or luxury of your brand. Promoting a new product line or a store opening to a bigger audience? Let customers feel they can trust your company with thick paper or cardstock. Coat paper with elegant matte or gloss finishes highlighting the premium quality of your items. Below are the sturdiest options available for paper and cardstock:
- 80 lb. paper has a similar feel to a magazine cover. It’s slightly thicker than standard paper and comes in gloss or matte coating to protect the surface.
- 100 lb. paper is a little thicker than most magazine covers but a little thinner than cardstock. Recommended for brochures, flyers, and other promotions customers can keep on hand.
- 14 pt. cardstock is the standard material used for business cards. It can withstand multiple handling and comes in coatings that protect it from fingerprints.
- 16 pt. cardstock is slightly thicker than the 14 pt. Recommended for business cards or other promotional tools handed out to VIP clients. It gives them the impression you value their business, while also putting your best “face” forward in introducing yourself.
- 17 pt. cardstock is the most rigid cardstock available and comes in an uncoated, writable surface. It has the most upscale vibe and the elegant texture gives it that extra high-end feel.
Print a set of cut-to-size stickers or labels to display indoors. Need a set of individual labels to quickly apply on your products? Order 70 lb. label in matte, gloss, or high-gloss UV so that your item and company name are easy to read from a glance.
Signs come in the following materials, depending on how they’re displayed:
- For paper signs: semi or high gloss that suit temporary displays in frames or inside the store.
- Vinyl in standard 13 oz., 15 oz, or 9 oz. mesh that lasts outdoors. The mesh is built to withstand wind, while the 13 and 15 oz. last years on display outside.
- Static cling or perforated adhesive vinyl for window clings. The removable structure makes it perfect for temporary signs and for reapplying in other areas.
- Magnetic stock for placing on your car while it’s making deliveries.
- Canvas for high-resolution photos or artwork displays.
- Adhesive fabric for displays on walls and other interiors.

You may notice slight differences between the colors displayed on your screen and the final printed piece. This occurs because computer screens use RGB color mode, which is optimized for digital displays, while printed materials use CMYK color mode, where ink is absorbed into paper and colors often appear less vibrant. Before printing, all RGB colors are automatically converted to CMYK during prepress, which can result in minor color shifts. While your printed product will closely resemble your on-screen design, small variations are normal. For the most accurate results, we recommend preparing your file in CMYK and requesting a printed proof whenever possible.
Additional factors that can affect color appearance include the following:
- Printer variability. Different printers, inks, and paper stocks can produce slightly different results.
- Monitor settings. Screen brightness, contrast, and calibration influence how colors appear on your display.
How to Ensure the Most Accurate Colors When Printing
- Design in CMYK. Convert your file to CMYK before submitting it for print.
- Calibrate your monitor. Use color-calibration tools to achieve more accurate on-screen color.
- Request a proof. A printed proof allows you to preview colors before full production.
- Use ICC profiles. These help align your design software with your printer’s color output.

Printing requires higher precision than digital screens as what looks fine on a monitor can blur or pixelate in print if not properly prepared. To achieve crisp, professional results, focus on resolution, file setup, and design choices.
- Ensure all images are at least 300 dpi for sharp, detailed printing.
- Use vector logos where possible. Use vector formats (AI, EPS, SVG, PDF) for logos and graphics to maintain clarity at any size.
- Design your file in CMYK color mode or convert RGB files to CMYK before sending to your printer.
- Embed or outline fonts to prevent substitution or formatting issues.
- Add a 0.125" (1/8") bleed beyond the trim edge, and keep important text/images within the safe zone to avoid being cut off.
- Always review a digital proof before approving the final run.
- Do a manual print check. Download the proof file and print it at 100% scale (set page scaling to “none”).
- Review readability, spacing, and margins in real size.
- Durability. Strong and sturdy, with added protection against scratches, moisture, and fading.
- Texture. Soft-touch laminate provides a velvety, smooth feel that stands out from standard finishes.
- Brand Impression. Often associated with luxury branding, these cards leave a lasting impression on clients.
- Balance. Combines durability with a premium tactile experience, making them ideal for professionals who want their cards to feel substantial and refined
Choosing the right paper weight or material depends on the purpose of your print piece, durability needs, and desired finish. Heavier cardstocks like 14 pt. to 16 pt. variants are ideal for business cards, postcards, and covers, while lighter paper stocks like 80 lb. and100 lb. paper are great for flyers or brochures. When designing prints, consider the finish, such as matte, gloss, or uncoated, based on the look and feel you want to achieve.
- Use legible font sizes (between 10 pt. and 12 pt. for body text)
- Use high-resolution images (at least 300 dpi).
- QR codes should be at least 0.8 x 0.8 inches, with the dark dots set on a light background so that it remains scannable. If you need to create a QR code, we also have a QR generator available in our free design tool on our website.
- Always review your proof at 100% size to check clarity.
