Folded Obituary Printing

An obituary is a brief story of your loved one’s life. Make the words come alive with a printed version that expresses what they meant to you. A printed obituary allows everyone to reflect on the person they are honoring, and it gives them something they can keep long after the service. Give these memories the reverence they deserve with a professionally printed obituary. We print these obituaries on your choice of stock with optional coatings that give your folder a high-end look.

Which pictures or colors are best for your folded obituary? How do you sum up their life in a few carefully chosen details? If you want a beautifully designed pamphlet, our graphic artists can help. They’ll select the right size, colors, borders and fonts to make your pamphlet look its best. Set off the moving words of the obituary against the perfect backdrop.

How to Save Your Files for Print

To ensure the best print results, follow these file setup guidelines when preparing your artwork:

File Setup Checklist

Resolution: 300 dpi
Bleed: 1/8" (0.125") on all sides
Color Mode: CMYK (or spot colors when applicable)
File Format: PDF (with fonts embedded or outlined)

Important Notes

• Make sure images are not compressed (turn off downsampling when exporting)
• Backgrounds that touch the edge must extend 0.125" beyond the trim line (bleed)
• You may include crop marks, but do not include file names or timestamps — it can throw off the layout
• Embed or outline all fonts to ensure crisp, clean text and avoid font errors
