Using a print shop and Vistaprint
Choose With a print shop to get files a shop can use, with the exact sizes, then follow the three steps under Order on Vistaprint.
Get the files
- Open Share and print and choose your design and size.
- Under Printing, tap With a print shop.
- Under Download for a print shop, tap the download buttons for your size (see the table). For a poster the screen says: One file at the true size, slightly oversized so the colour runs right to the edge of the finished poster.
- Tap Order on Vistaprint. It opens Vistaprint's page in a new tab. The link carries no affiliate or tracking code.
- Follow the three lines shown under the button.
You will see: a file in your downloads folder, named with your page link, for example
yourlink-table-tent-A5-front.png.
What you get for each size
The files are slightly larger than the finished card, so the colour runs right to the edge once it is cut. The extra is 3mm on every edge, or 1.5mm for a business card.
| Size | Buttons | File | Size of file |
|---|---|---|---|
| A3 poster | Download the poster | One PDF page | 303 by 426 mm, finished size 297 by 420 mm |
| A4 poster | Download the poster | One PDF page | 216 by 303 mm, finished size 210 by 297 mm |
| A5 table card | Front, Back, Download both (ZIP) | Two PNG images | 154 by 216 mm, 1819 by 2551 pixels |
| A6 table card | Front, Back, Download both (ZIP) | Two PNG images | 111 by 154 mm, 1311 by 1819 pixels |
| Business card | Download the card | One PNG image, for both sides | 58 by 88 mm, 685 by 1039 pixels |
The images are made at 300 dots per inch. The poster PDFs have no cutting marks on them.
Download the Front and the Back one at a time. The Download both (ZIP) button puts the pair in one file if you would rather keep them together.
The three steps on Vistaprint
The pack shows these under Order on Vistaprint, and they change with your size.
For a table tent (A5 or A6):
- Choose table tents, then A5 (or A6).
- Upload the front image.
- Upload the back image.
For a business card:
- Choose standard business cards, portrait.
- Upload the image to the front.
- Upload the same image to the back.
For a poster (A3 or A4):
- Choose posters, then A3 (or A4).
- Upload the file.
- Pick your paper and how many.
The button opens Vistaprint's table tents page, its standard business cards page or its posters page. Check the size and options on their page before you pay, because their site is theirs and can change.
Other print shops
The pack describes these files as made "For Vistaprint and most online printers". Another shop may ask for something different, so check its upload rules against the sizes in the table.
Do not order from a preview site
If the pack shows Do not print anything from this build, the codes will stop working and every file is stamped. Download again from anyrequests.app.
