Here’s a lineup of some stellar mockup tools that can help refine your designs, providing a sneak peek at how they’ll actually look and feel to your customers.

Design Smart: File Specs and Tips

Creating awesome designs is just the first step; the real magic happens when they’re print-ready. Nailing the technical specs is crucial to ensuring your visuals look as crisp and vibrant in person as they do on your screen.

From choosing the right file formats and sizes to optimizing the resolution and color accuracy, here are the essential tips to keep your designs looking top-notch when printed. Whether you’re a seasoned designer or just starting out, these guidelines will help you master the art of file preparation for flawless results every time. You can also read our complete design requirements here.

File Formats and Sizes

Stick to high-quality PNG files to keep your visuals crisp and clear. Watch the file size—Spring has a 50 MB limit, so size your files accordingly.

Resolution for Perfection

For the sharpest details, aim for 300 DPI. If you’re working on larger designs, like for all-over prints, you might need to drop to 150 DPI to manage file sizes without losing quality.

Color Accuracy

Stick with CMYK for color accuracy in printing. Bright and neon colors might look cool on screen but can be tricky to print, so it’s best to avoid them.

Share Your Designs Across Social Media

Once you’ve nailed your designs, the next step is to get the word out and make some noise on social media. These savvy tools are here to supercharge your online presence, helping you extend your reach and showcase your latest creations.
