Placemat Printing

Like a dine-in-menu, a placemat creates a strong first impression. Use them to add a decorative touch that blends with your overall design scheme, or use them to sell advertising to local businesses. Make placemats just for kids that match your kids’ menus. There are endless possibilities for design with your choice of rounded or straight corners, matte or glossy coating and more. Our expert printing ensures your placemats look perfect, and we offer a 5% discount to include our tagline. It’s a win-win.

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
