File Specifications
Please scroll down to download one of our free templates.
Bleed Format
Please ensure your file has the following dimensions:24.20'' x 36.20''
After printing we will trim off a 0.10'' bleed on each side. Any background elements or color should reach into this bleed area and last till the very edge of the file. Text and other important graphic elements should keep a safety distance to the inside.Trim Format (Final Product Format)
Your product will be delivered with the following dimensions:24'' x 36''
File Dimensions
Please first choose a format from the calculator to see the exact file dimensions.
Bleed 0.1'' (1/10'')
This margin is essential to compensate trimming tolerances. The bleed will usually be trimmed off completely. Please ensure that background images and any bleed objects, which are supposed to reach to the edge of your page, extend into this margin to avoid thin white edges after trimming.Safety Area 0.08'' (1/12'')
Additionally, please ensure that text and other important graphic elements are positioned at least 0.08'' away from the bleed to the inside. In most cases it doesn't look aesthetically if text stucks too closed to the edge.Resolution
We print with a 177lpi screen, which provides a resolution of 354 dpi. In order to obtain best results, your file should have a resolution of at least 300 dpi (dots per inch). Files for large formats, like for instance posters, may go below this threshold, however, in no case your resolution should be less than 150 dpi.Color settings
CMYK is the standard color mode for full color offset printing. Thus, please use the CMYK color mode when creating your file. If, however, we receive files with any different color setting, our system will automatically convert them to CMYK. This may result in slight color deviations which will not be accepted as complaints since we cannot know the original color you had in mind. To avoid color issues, please use our color profile available further down this page.Inking
The total of the percent values of the four color channels Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black must not exceed 300%. If it does, it will cause an above-average ink application and may not dry properly. As a consequence your printed products may stick together and tear on separation.For black or gray color please only use the K channel (K = key = black). If your fonts are using three or more color channels, shadows may appear on the prints making the text difficult to read.
To obtain a deep saturated black of strokes and fillings, 40% Cyan and 100% Black are adequate (40/0/0/100). Alternatively you may also use the values 30/30/30/100.
Fonts
For offset printing, please always use Postscript fonts. In rare cases TrueType fonts may cause issues with many professional printing workflows. If TrueType fonts are unavoidable they should be converted to outlines, paths or curves (this function may have different names according to the used software).File Formats
We prefer multipage PDF files, alternatively you may send us EPS, JPEG or TIFF files. Adobe Photoshop users should always save their files as JPEG or TIFF. If a Photoshop PDF is required, please use Acrobat Distiller to create the PDF (you may download our Acrobat JobOptions further down this page). Please never save a PDF directly from Photoshop.Page Order
In your PDF file, the first page should be the front and the second page the back. Important for folded double sided products: The first page of your PDF must always include the front panel of your folded product (means the page which is supposed to be the front page after folding)Templates

We're top-rated by our customers. Read what people say about us.
I’ve been using Chiliprinting for a couple of years now and they never disappoint! Quality products, affordable prices and always fast turn around….what more could you ask for!! I highly recommend Chiliprinting for all your print needs.
Chilli never fails to satisfy! Great service, great prices and on top of that Great Quality!
Great service and quick turnaround. Highly recommended!
Great experience with ChilliPrinting customer service. They helped make my project a success!
Awesome quality. I received my order quicker then the scheduled date which was extremely convenient. Overall 2 thumbs up! Keep being awesome!
Best customer support ever. I have had so much help for a lot of personal difficulties I was having with the posters I was ordering. They are really a great company with great products!
We had no issues with our order this year. Customer service was very helpful with a few of my questions and the posters turned out really nice! Looking forward to ordering next year!! Thanks!!
Incredibly fast service. Compared to other printing vendors we've used in the past our order was printed and mailed to us in just a few days. Faster processing and shipping across the country than some vendors here with us in California! Would definitely use again.
I recommend this company for brochure printing. I've ordered twice from Chilli Printing, doubling my order quantity and they have consistently produced a good quality brochure and it was delivered extremely fast. The *** Illustrator templates are accurate and make it easy for layout. I like how it can all be done myself online without having to contact support.
At first I was a little annoyed with the ordering process as I feel the additional professional review option is a little hidden on the checkout screen. Customer service was great to talk with and they handled my situation to the best of their ability. The product arrived on time and the quality is top notch! I am impressed with both the price and quality. Will be ordering from again.
This is the third time we have used your printing services and been so so pleased. We appreciate your service for our nonprofit organization. Thank you!
This entire process was amazing. The quality of our booklets was better than anything else that we have ever ordered. I would highly recommend this company.
Great customer service - quick turnaround - great product and prices. My new go-to for bulk poster printing!
Absolutely amazing quality, my posters look so incredible. I couldn't be happier, thank you!
So fast, high quality, low prices. What's not to love!
Excellent quality, prices, and easy steps. Friendly customer service helps customers anytime with chat. Packing is also good never worry.
I ordered booklets for a presentation. They were delivered in a timely manner and looked good.
The best quality for the best price that I have found anywhere!
Always put out a great product. Production and shipping times are never delayed. Very satisfied with Chilliprinting.
Every order is perfect! If there ever is a problem, (mostly with damage in transit), customer service handles the problem swiftly.
Customer service was great in pointing me in the right direction to figure out how to execute my project, and the paper samples made me confident that I was getting the right product. The turnaround time was great, good quality printing, and good price! I will definitely print with Chilli again.
Highly recommend! We were looking for a new printing company and couldn't have been happier with results. Initial communications were prompt and helpful, pricing was good, delivery was earlier than expected, the items packed thoughtfully with great care and the finished product looked great! 5 stars!
Phenomenal Service, Outstanding Print Quality the best experience I have ever had.
I appreciated the excellent customer service as well as the first rate printing job. Thank you :)
Very happy with how my booklets turned out. Will be placing another order soon. Arrived in a timely fashion.
I understand every time we are not going to get as lucky, but our 8-10 day production schedule turned into 2 days this time! Obviously the quality still needs to be there, and it was. Good work.
Good quality and fast service. Would recommend
ChiliPrinting is fantastic! They printed just what we wanted, at a reasonable price and it was SO FAST! We've used them muliple times for a folded poster and will do a reprint when we need more!
Loved the quick online proofing system. Turnaround time was exactly as promised.
Products are awesome! Wished there were more discount codes
I've been getting my print work done with these guys for over 5 years. They are reliable, efficient, and cost effective!
Best in the business for posters!
Great service and quality. Easy to place the order. The package always has no damage with careful packing.
Just placed my first order from ChilliPrinting last month and all my expectations were met. The quality of my posters looked great The quoted delivery dates were right on time I was was kept dated on the status of my order often. The packaging of my order kept the posters in prefect condition once received. Placing another today Great Job ***** !!
Highly recommend! Great quality product and fast turnaround.
I've had several products made and have nearly no complaints. The business cards could have been packaged a little tighter to not cause damage in transit but ever considering that, mine had no damage. Other than that, I am extremely pleased with the quality and timeliness.
Highly impressed with the price and quality of my product! Will order from here again
Great quality, great turn around.
Great prices, great quality and great customer service. THANK YOU!
Very satisfied with this company. High quality products. Fast delivery.
Great quality at a good value!
QUICK TURN AROUND, GREAT PRODUCT AND SERVICE
Quick, great response to questions on the website chat. And my 6-fold accordion brochure came out beautiful with vibrant colors!
Super fast service, personal and speedy support, and very good pricing. Nothing to complain about - I come back again and again.
Print quality was excellent, and order arrived on time. We will be ordering again!
I was very happy with the service and product that I received.
I've used *** for years and am always beyond pleased with their speed, ease of ordering and end product. They knocked it out of the park again on my most recent order. They are my go-to for bulk poster printing and I've recommended them to everyone I know.
Improve Chilli's services? Not possible! Every single aspect of the process works great....from getting online quotes, getting assistance from real employees, simple yet technical proofing process, option for proofing assistance, price, turnaround, delivery...EVERYTHING at Chilli works perfect! Keep on Chilling!!!
The product came in flawless and actually delivered a bit quicker than expected! We ordered large backlit film prints and were very happy with the customer service and the quality of the prints!
Very quick turnaround. The posters came in perfect condition and the matte paper was great. Will be ordering from here again soon!
Printing and paper for poster looked very good. Good turn around.
Quick production and shipping time and always fantastic quality!
Good quality product and very fast turn around! I will use them again for sure!!
Quality was great. As a resale printer I was pleased to present the finished product to my customer.
Always great working with y'all, we love the outcome everytime!
These guys were very reasonable with price and very professional in delivering what we ordered. I highly recommend them. Intend to use them again.
I orfered 10 prints of my original art work and I"m very happy with the results. My order and delivery was processed super fast and the prints were well packaged. The quality of the paper is above my expectations. My only issue is the matte finish is a little too shiney but the colors are as vibrant as the original. I will be a repeat customer.
Super easy the hardest part is making sure you have your artwork file ready. Proof was sent within an hour and shipping and tracking number within 48 hours. If your on a time schedule you can trust these guys. Quality was really nice.
Very good printing, shipping fast
Very quick turnaround time and excellent email communication. The quality of the printing is better than other vendors we’ve tried.
I would recommend *** to others. It was easy to order - we did have a little trouble uploading our design (accidentally did it multiple times, so we had to start over). Besides that, the ordering process was simple, and we did not have to wait long for the order to arrive. We will definitely use *** again because the service and price are great!
