ACCEPTED FILE FORMATS

• We prefer “ready-for-print” PDF files, as we are unable to format or edit your project.
• Word, PowerPoint, and Excel documents are also accepted and will automatically be converted into a PDF file when submitted through the ordering system. Be sure to review formatting when the file is converted to PDF format.
