1. Set your document size including bleed.
Scale your file to 12 to 1, so that 1 inch equals 1 foot. (1"=1')and add .125” bleed on each side. Thus a 4' x 6' banner wouldbe submitted at 4.25" x 6.25"

2. Establish the safety area. Do not place important elements too close to the trim line asthey could be trimmed off or sewn through during finishing. It is best to keep key elements of your banner .125” inside the edge. If your banner uses pole pockets, put all text and design elements at least .33" inside of the cut line or they may be sewn through.

3. Choose your resolution. The required resolution for printing vinyl banners depends on viewing distance.
