File Preparation FAQ

If you use a Mac or have more than 4 files to upload it would be best to upload them as a single compressed file by following these instructions.

Take all the files for the job and put them in a single folder whose name is your company name.

Compress the folder as a .zip file using Winzip or PK Zip if it’s a Windows platform file. Use Stuffit on the Macintosh platform and BinHex encode the file so that your file will retain its resource fork and arrive happily with its icons intact.

If your files are extremely large you may want to compress them into several archives such as companyname-1.zip, companyname-2.zip, etc. Sometimes it is easier to successfully upload 3 25MB files than it is to upload a single 75MB file.

You can download the programs from the links below.

Winzip Stuffit

Please write your order number on your package and disk. You’ll see the order number on the order confirmation page after you hit the “Send Order” button below. Include on your disk only the file(s) you want printed. Your files can be compressed as a zip or stuffit archive. Flash drives are automatically returned. CDs and DVDs are only returned if you request it on the ordering page or indicate it with your disk.
