ARTWORK BY EMAIL

  • Emails should be directed to your Account Representative so they may document receipt and direct it to the Art Department for review. 
  • It is helpful to compress files (.zip) first when sending by email to prevent any corruption that might occur when transferring. 

ARTWORK USING OUR FTP SITE

  • Please email your Account Representative to get access to our FTP site. 
  • Save all files inside on folder. Folder sent must be saved first by company name, then by product information.

ADDITIONAL ARTWORK INFORMATION

  • File name and creation date should appear on all files if possible.
  • When possible, please supply a hard copy. This is to assure that text does not reflow and that the artwork supplied is complete. 
  • All incoming art files will go through Upland's preflight process to ensure that your job will proceed quickly and smoothly with no unexpected "surprises". 
  • Digital printing utilizes process color separations plus Indichrome colors, including white. Some Pantone colors convert to process better than others. Also, metallic inks are not yet available for digital printing, but may be achieved using foil substrates and alternative ink combinations. 


  • Specifying the PANTONE or process colors in your document is helpful in ensuring you get exactly what you want. 
  • Please keep the original and send us a copy of your artwork in case of corruption.
  • If these guidelines are unclear to you, please provide us with the contact information for your graphic wrist or agency. 
  • It is best to provide this information to your service provider or designer prior to initiation of design. 
  • If your artwork is not compliant with the above guidelines, additional charges may be required.
