How to Submit Your Print Files to Print Group Inc.
To ensure accurate and efficient production, please follow the instructions below when submitting files for printing. Submitting files correctly helps prevent delays, formatting issues, and production errors.
Accepted File Format
We accept:
Press-Quality PDF files only
Please ensure your PDF files are:
- High resolution (300 DPI recommended)
- Built at final trim size
- Including bleed where required
- With fonts embedded
- In CMYK color mode (unless otherwise specified)
If you are unsure whether your file meets these standards, contact us before uploading.
Native Files
We no longer accept native design files (such as InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, Publisher, etc.) unless specifically requested by our team.
If native files are required for a particular project, we will request them directly.
Organizing Multiple Files
If your project contains multiple PDF files:
- Place all PDFs into one folder
- Compress the folder (ZIP) before uploading if required by your transfer method
Keeping files organized reduces confusion and ensures all parts of your job are accounted for.
Required Job Information
When submitting files — whether by email or transfer service — always include:
- Job number (if assigned)
- Quote number (if applicable)
- Purchase order number (if applicable)
- Project name
- Contact name
- Phone number
- In-hands deadline
Incomplete information can delay production.
If we cannot match your file to a job, we may need to contact you before proceeding.
