Requirements for your artwork

Your artwork must fit:

single advert space: 66mm x 66mm
double advert space: 134mm x 66m

If your software does not allow for such specifics, then please do what you can to ensure your artwork can be reduced to this size without distortion.

If you are able to find out the PPI (pixels per inch) of your artwork, please ensure this is at least 300 PPI in print-ready pdf format.

You must ensure that your advert is easy to read at the above-mentioned size, so try to avoid text that is smaller than 9pt where possible.

Please do NOT add any borders to your artwork. Either use a solid colour (including white), a pattern or a high-quality image.

If anyone would like their artwork checked prior to submission, you are welcome to email it to us.  We will then to check the sizing and resolution for you and suggest any changes to ensure it works as well as possible for your business.  To email us, please click here.
