Contour Cut?Artwork setupArtwork Setup for Cut to Shape (Contour Cut)Create a closed vector path that follows the exact finished shape of the graphic. Place the cut path on a separate layer above the print artwork and name the layer CutContour.Cut path: Use a spot color named CutContour. Set the path to stroke only with no fill.File setup: Keep the CutContour path as vector artwork. Do not flatten or rasterize it.Safety: Keep important text, logos and critical design elements safely inside the cut line.Shape: Avoid extremely small details, sharp inside corners and narrow projections; these may need adjustment for reliable cutting.Bleed: If printing extends to the finished edge, extend the background past the CutContour path so cutting variation does not leave an unwanted white edge.Contour Cut (Custom Shape)Follows a defined path to produce a custom-shaped graphic.Highlights: Custom shape; follows artwork pathBest for: Decals; logos; lettering; shaped signsConsider: Requires clean vector cut path; intricate shapes may need adjustmentFinishing: Artwork: vector contour path on separate named spot-color path/layer.

How do I choose the right material?Start with where the graphic will be installed and how long it needs to last. A wall graphic, window graphic, floor decal, outdoor banner and rigid parking sign may all be the same physical size but need completely different materials. Consider indoor versus outdoor exposure, smooth versus textured surfaces, removability, wind load, rigidity, transparency, illumination and whether the graphic will be handled or moved. If the application is unusual, describe the surface and environment in Project Notes so our team can verify the selection.
Why are materials grouped instead of listed as hundreds of separate cards?Materials are organized by their most common applications to make comparison easier. Within each family, thickness, finish, adhesive, rigidity, outdoor durability and specialty performance can vary. Choose the material that best matches the installation surface and environment, and use the individual option details to compare important differences before ordering.
When should I add lamination?Lamination is useful when a compatible print needs added abrasion resistance, easier cleaning, a different sheen or a writable dry-erase surface. Floor graphics use purpose-built systems where slip resistance and traffic performance are more important than appearance alone. Some specialty media is designed to perform without a separate laminate, so the best answer depends on the exact material and application.
What is required for Cut to Shape (Contour Cut)?Provide a clean closed vector path that defines the finished outline. Keep critical text, logos and other important elements safely inside the cut path and avoid excessive tiny points or extremely intricate edges. Cut vinyl may also require weeding and transfer masking so separate letters or shapes remain aligned during installation. Complex contours can require additional production review.
How should I choose grommets, pole pockets or rope-in-hem?Choose the finishing method based on how the banner will actually be supported. Grommets create individual tie points and work well on fences, walls and frames. Pole pockets spread support across a full edge and are useful with rods, crossbars or pole-banner systems. Rope in the hem creates a reinforced continuous attachment edge. Large banners, windy locations and unusual mounting conditions may need installation-specific review.
Do large-format files always need 300 dpi at full size?No. Required effective resolution depends on final dimensions, image content and normal viewing distance. Small close-viewed graphics need more effective resolution than very large banners or wall graphics viewed from farther away. Vector logos and text should remain vector whenever possible. If a file is built at reduced scale, its effective resolution at final size must still be adequate for the application.
Can every material be produced same day or next day?No. Rush availability depends on the selected material, size, printing, lamination and fabrication. Rush choices are shown only for qualifying configurations, and production-ready artwork must be received before the applicable cutoff. Production turnaround does not include shipping, delivery or installation time.
