Follow these simple steps to design and prepare your Outdoor Banner for print:

1. Choose Outdoor Banner size
To design your Outdoor Banner and prepare it for printing with Cloudprinter.com, select one of the available sizes at Cloudprinter.com.

2. Set Outdoor Banner bleeds 
The next step is setting the bleed areas at each side of your Outdoor Banner to make sure all important information is kept safe and there is enough space to mount the grommets. For this, simply add 50 mm (1.969 in) at each side of the Outdoor Banner. The number of grommets depends on the Outdoor Banner size chosen (the bigger size chosen, the more grommets included). Make sure your information is within the bleed limits; colors, background images and the layout of your Outdoor Banner design extend to the bleeds area as well, so that there are no white edges after finishing the Outdoor Banner. We recommend avoiding placing text or important information inside of the safe zone — the 20 mm (0.787 in) inside of the cutting edge in order not to be clipped when finishing the Outdoor Banner. This way, you won't lose any data while you design your Outdoor Banner .

3. Prepare Outdoor Banner 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 Outdoor Banner all over the world as close to the delivery destination as possible.
