*While preparing your file for print, you’ll have to exclude the bleeds layer.

Follow these simple steps to design and prepare your Aluminium Wall Decoration for print:

  1. Choose Aluminium Wall Decoration shape
    You may opt for the circle, square or rectangle shape. While preparing your print pdf file, pay attention that a die-cutting line called “cutcontour” has to be provided as a separate layer with the spot colour in order to produce the desired shape of your Aluminium Wall Decoration.
  2. Choose Aluminium Wall Decoration size
    Check available sizes before sending your Aluminium Wall Decoration for global print with Cloudprinter.com.
  3. Set Aluminium Wall Decoration bleeds
    The next step is setting the bleed areas at each side of your Aluminium Wall Decoration to make sure all important information is kept safe. For this, simply add 10 mm (0.394 in) at each side of your Aluminium Wall Decoration.  Make sure your information is within the bleed limits; colors, background images and the layout of your Aluminium Wall Decoration design extend to the bleeds area as well, so that there are no silver edges after cutting. 
    Pay attention that a circle shape will be printed on the square sheet of aluminium and then the angles will be cut off, so do not place any important elements in these areas. This way, you won't lose any data while you design your Aluminium Wall Decoration.
  4. Prepare Aluminium Wall Decoration file for printing
    • Set 300 DPI resolution;
    • Choose RGB colour model;
    • Save the file in PDF/X-4.

Well done! Now you can print your Aluminium Wall Decoration all over the world as close to the delivery destination as possible.
