Frequently Asked Design Questions:

What if I need physical proofs?

Physical proofs are available for a small fee, but please note that they are only an approximation of the final product. This is because bulk orders are done via a different type of press that requires plate setup, whereas proofs which are only one or two pieces will be done via digital print. Both methods may produce slightly different results.

If I am creating my own design, what programs do you recommend?

You don’t necessarily need a super high-end program at your fingertips to create a design you’re happy with. However, it DOES depend on how specific you want to be about things like color accuracy, clarity, and fonts. If your design requires a high level of accuracy, precision colors, or specific signature fonts, you should AVOID using online services such as CANVA. Our best recommendation in this case is always to use our full design service or a professional graphic designer of your own choice.

What if I created my own design already and I need high quality prints, but I’m not sure if my creation meets the standards for best quality print?

That’s okay! You still have the option to use CITYMAIL’s in-house graphic design experts who can get your file in ship-shape. This service may incur a fee depending on the complexity of re-design.
