File Specifications
Please scroll down to download one of our free templates.
Bleed Format
Please ensure your file has the following dimensions:18.20'' x 24.20''
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:18'' x 24''
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

Excellent quality for an economical price. Will definitely use again!
Chilliprinting never disappoints. Fast service great products and happy customers. Thank you
Thank you ChilliPrinting for providing timely, quality, and affordable service!
I was extremely happy with the quality of my product. I also light how well it was protected and being shipped to me. Thank you so much.
Thank you ChilliPrinting for great service and great quality!
I used Chilli for some posters for a book I published and was under a tight time frame. Chilli came through and made it happen! I am VERY happy with the quality of my posters and their great customer service. I definitely will recommend them to others!
Very fast service. Very good quality. Fantastic price!!
I've been using ChilliPrinting for all of my bulk poster orders for years now. Their quality and service stand the test of time!
I am very happy with Chilli Printing's work! I just ordered my first catalogue print, the result is beautiful, my clients are impressed, just the "wow" effect I was looking for. The first order was easy, communication was flawless, prices are competitive and they respected the timeline (even did faster). I will order my second catalogue print soon. Thank you Chilli Printing S.W.
My order was delivered much quicker than expected, and the quality was unbelievable! Almost every single copy was in prestine condition, and the 2 or 3 that weren't were mostly likely due to a long shipping distance. I would definitely recommend chilliprinting for my fellow business owners in my area, as printing has gotten so expensive lately, but chilli makes it affordable!
Price, service and poster print quality was excellent. Turned out a little dark and with some color shift, but I was warned this could happen as I submitted RBG files--only had PS Elements with no CMYK capabilities. I just bought Photoshop and I'll convert to CMYK, as well as upload the ICC info for the paper you're printing on. Hopefully the next poster will be even better.
ChilliPrinting is top-notch. Ordering is easy and shipping is fast. Thank you for another successful order.
AMAZING! Customer service is fantastic. I’m totally new to printing and designing and their team was happy to help and supply a wealth of information. They are honest and their sample kit is great for figuring out what you want. They have the best prices by far and their posters are exactly as show to your pdf. Totally my new supplier for a long time!!
I am VERY pleased with my results. The instructions for submission were easy to follow. The pricing is very fair, my booklets arrived ahead of schedule, and most important of it, the quality was beyond my expectation. I wholeheartedly recommend ChilliPrinting!
Printed and shipped fast as lightning!
Excellent service! Excellent product!
I ordered the 14x3.5" accordion brocure. Excellent customer service! Very fast and quality product! I will definitely reorder!
Second order of posters—great product again. Timely and unbeatable price—well packed/shipped. Looking now at the 80 lb text gloss for printing/use as possible wrapping paper—maybe another product line you might promote/carry (might offer 70 lb paper if you do).
The only place that offered the size and number of folds that i could find and the quality and time frame was great. The adobe templates made it easy. We will be ordering again when our stock runs out. Thanks!
Everything went wonderfully! I did have a question when I ordered 2 posters and the Chat provided easy to understand answers right away. Also my order came faster than I thought it would which is always helpful. I'd certainly recommend your services to others.
Working with ChiliPrinting has been great - customer service was prompt and helpful regarding our pre-printing questions and provided strong guidance. We did have a couple of copies of our prints that were scuffed at the top of our boxes. We brought this to customer service's attention, and they promptly helped address the issue, which was great.
Was fully satisfied with the customer service I received, and the final product! Very communicative when I had a question that I emailed, and reassured me that it would be as I wanted.
From product selection, to file setup and delivery, everything was perfect!
We loved our order! As long as we are doing this type of job, you guys will be our choice. Great product for price that is 1/3 the price of a quote we had before finding y'all. Less than a 1/3 of the price if we end up not having to rush production at some point. You guys are awesome, thank you so much!
I love the ChilliPrinting experience. The variable pricing based on production and shipping speed is fantastic. And I always love my results.
Booklets came out perfect, quality was very good, and the turnaround was perfect.
The posters we ordered were delivered when they said they wiuld be and were printed on a nice heavy stuck. The print quality was excellent. And the price was the best of any i found amongst wholesale printers online.
I ordered several hundred posters. They were completed ahead of schedule, looked great, and were at an excellent price. One box and its contents got damaged during shipping and ChilliPrinting sent me replacements within a few days. I couldn't ask for anything more. ChilliPrinting rules!
Great quality, high-speed processing, and packing are perfect.
A seamless print operation from start to finish - to your door perfection. 5 STARS
ChilliPrinting makes ordering easy. I love that I can choose both production speed and shipping speed, to get my orders when I want for the price I want.
The turnaround time and quality of these posters I ordered was fantastic. Best deal I've found on the interwebs, thank you Chill Printing!
Great customer service... quick printing! Will use again! Thank you!
Absolutely fantastic customer service. When I read the other reviews I was skeptical because about all of then were so positive and that just cant be true! But it is! I sent an email and got an in depth response ASAP, and my order was quick, fast, easy and best of all affordable! The shipping was secure, and overall VERY satisfied with about everything there is. Thanks!
Thank you ChilliPrinting for your amazing service! I couldn't be happier with the quality and turnaround of your products.

Great prices, quality, and service. Carefully packaging makes me not worry about any damage.
I like the ease of placing an order. Straightforward and uncomplicated process. Quick turn on quality prints with fast shipping, can't be beat!
I just came across Chilli Printing after needing a print job with quick turnaround. I was hesitant but decided to give it a chance. I am so glad I did! The price, quality and turn-around time were everything I was looking for. You have a new customer in me.
Great service. Reasonable prices. Been using them for years and plan to continue using them moving forward. Quality prints.
After a bit of a rough start, the product and the service were great. I've been searching for a company to print my historic maps for years. Glad I found you.
I have ordered several times from Chilli Printing. Easy ordering and fast delivery. Top-notch service. Thank You!
ChilliPrinting provided excellent customer service, (the emails were so personal!!) quick turn around time (amazed at the quickness from placing the order to when it landed at our office), and extremely reasonable prices. Next time we have a substantial project to print we will be in touch.
I wanted to make gift wrap with some of my artwork. The 80# poster paper @ 24x38 inches was perfect. Top quality results! Packing & shipping did a great job — no damage to 1000 posters—4 boxes. Can’t beat the bulk pricing for superb quality printing/materials. Glad I found you!
I've relatively new to my current job where we order from ChilliPrinting. Ordering on the website is straightforward and very easy to do. I wish all websites were that easy to use!
Great printing quality. Received my order quickly
As always, prompt and efficient service from Chilli. Our posters are top-quality and beautifully printed. Cannot recommend them highly enough.
Customer service is on point! Answered all my questions. My printed materials looked amazing.
Amazed at how inexpensive the prices are for such quality work.
Incredible service as always.
Excellent price and fast service they really different from other printing services, the only issue no telephone number for questions
Great price, terrific quality, fast shipping
They did a great job and were very helpful!
Chill Printing review services did an excellent job of making sure the alternating color panels on a 7 fold accordion brochure folded exactly on the color edges. The final product was excellent and the pricing was remarkable.
I had a great experience on this order with ChilliPrinting customer service. I used the Live Chat to talk to a representative, and then later received a follow-up email about my order. Absolutely fantastic.
Just letting you know that my map prints are perfect as was the whole entire process. Your company is amazing and wonderful to work with. The sample pack was also stellar. I am so excited to have found you.
AGAIN, ANOTHER PERFECT ORDER! Still amazed at how easy their ordering system is. Plus the consistent quality is hard to beat!
