FAQ - Upload Your Design (3)
Yes – Tell us what your previous job was & how long ago. eg Transit Van – 2 years ago. We can use this design on another transit, we can rescale to fit a Renault traffic or can take the details & create a design for you for a Business Card or a Site Board.
We will email the new design to you for approval before passing it to Production.
The most common problem we encounter is low-resolution images. You may have a .jpg that is fine for printing a business card 80mm wide but will look poor quality at 800mm wide. We have several ways of solving this problem
- We can find a similar high-quality logo, photo or letter style to replace your low-resolution image.
- We can get our Design team to enlarge your graphic and then retrace all the lines to create a Vector graphic that will be perfect at any size on this project or any future project. This is time-consuming & we charge a design fee of £30 for this service.
Upload the highest quality artwork available. We will work with you to overcome any problems but if there is one thing we can’t do, it’s create a high quality print from a tiny .jpeg
- Try to upload your artwork at the exact size and resolution you would like it to print.
We recommend uploading your artwork at a minimum of 300dpi. - When saving your artwork to upload, make sure you save in as high quality as you can. TIFF files are generally best, but a high-resolution JPEG may be OK.
- If it’s vector artwork, a print-ready PDF works wonders. For cut-to-shape items cutting machines need vector files to know where to cut.

FAQ - We Create for You (2)
Our “Let us Create for You” design service is based on you placing an order & us then creating a design that you like that we email you for approval before printing. If we cannot come up with a design that pleases you then we will arrange a full refund.
We do offer a “Hire a designer” service at a cost of £30. A design created this way is yours to use as & when you wish & does not require you to place an Sign order..
The style that you choose gives our designers an idea of what design you will find pleasing but if you want something different then tell us what you are looking for.
