FILE FORMAT, FILE NAMING AND SIZE SPECIFICATIONS

Please send us a print-ready PDF according to the PDF 1.6 standard with clear identification of the article, the design name, and the final dimensions in mm. Always indicate the format in the filename as width x height. The external dimension should be specified without any print extension. Special characters or similar cannot be processed. The file naming, including the motif, will be printed as a label and thus assists in the allocation and assembly of individual prints. Therefore, including the motif and size in the filename is very helpful for all project participants.

MULTI-PAGE PDF FILES 

TEXTILE PRINTS

Creating multiple pages in a PDF file is not permitted and cannot be processed in the printing process. Therefore, create each design as an individual PDF.

CASE BRANDING

It is a 1-page PDF file to be created according to specific printing specifications including a cutting path. Use our Adobe templates including vector path for this. You can find the link in the specific printing specifications for the case.

SK FILMS FOR COUNTER BRANDING

It is to be created as a 3-page PDF file according to specific printing specifications. You can find these under the respective product.

COLORS, SPECIAL COLORS, PROOFS

Certain color specifications may not be achievable in digital printing, thus requiring adjustments to the files. In this case, please provide us with the print data in the PDF/X4:2008 standard. The additional effort caused by the color adjustment will be charged. Special colors can only be simulated in digital printing. Therefore, depending on the material, there may be deviations between the print result and the specified special color tone. Proofs for backlit textiles are only meaningful with the appropriate hardware; without backlighting or with a different light color, the textiles cannot be assessed.

REORDERS

Due to aging, technical changes, or material substitutions, color deviations may occur in reprints compared to existing prints. This is technically unavoidable. For overarching motifs, the production of the entire motif is necessary.

HOW CAN I TRANSFER THE PRINT DATA?

You can conveniently upload your print-ready files via Data Upload here (max. 500 MB per upload). For smaller data volumes (max. 15 MB), you can also send us the files by email at print@modulap.de, specifying the order number, or send us a download link (e.g., from WeTransfer.com). Important: Please always submit the print data only after placing the order. Only with the order number can your files be unequivocally assigned to the correct order. Please also note the additional information that you will find during the data upload.
