Here’s how to set up your artwork for order of service printing.

• The closed, finished size of an A4 order of service booklet is 210mm x 297mm, so set your artwork up at 216mm x 303mm to add 3mm bleed to both sides
• Set your colour mode as CMYK
• Use high resolution images (at least 300dpi)
• Embed or flatten your fonts

Designing Yourself 
When ordering from instantprint you can be confident your artwork is in safe hands. Our online proofing tool is available after you click ‘add to basket’ and it will check your artwork and apply fixes for common issues if needed. 

If you are unsure, our Personal Artworkers can check over your artwork for free before you place an order. Plus every order is checked by our in-house Proofing Team to ensure that the file is print-ready.

We’ll design for you 
If you need support with designing, we can always create the design for you. We have recently launched our new Design Service and offer design across all our products. For more information click here.

Here’s a quick checklist to help you set your order of service design up for print:

• The flat, finished size of an A4 folded order of service is: 297mm x 210mm, or 303mm x 216mm with bleed
• The flat, finished size of an A5 folded order of service is: 210mm x 148mm, or 216mm x 154mm with bleed
• Set your colour mode as CMYK
• Use high resolution images (at least 300dpi)
• Embed or flatten your fonts

What paper are they printed on?

We print orders of service on 120gsm uncoated stock, which helps give them a traditional look.

What does ‘pp’ mean?

‘Pp’ refers to printed pages. In a half fold product like this, there are 4 printed pages – the front and back cover and two inside pages.

When will they be delivered?

Folded order of service orders approved by 6:30pm will be dispatched for delivery within one working day. Delivery takes a further working day. For example, if you approved your order by 6:30pm on a Monday, we’d dispatch your order on Tuesday and it’d be delivered on Wednesday.

How do I upload my order of service design?

You should upload your booklet artwork after placing your order. To do this, complete your order and then email your artwork to our Studio team at artwork@instantprint.co.uk who’ll then set it up for print for you.
