Custom Metal Sign Image Requirements:
When ordering a custom metal sign from Jack and Friends, it's crucial to supply an image that meets our specific requirements. This ensures your sign looks exactly as you envision, with the highest quality and precision. Below, you'll find a detailed explanation of the image requirements needed for your custom sign.
Understanding Image Quality and Size
1. Image Resolution:
- Minimum DPI: Your image must have a minimum resolution of 200 DPI (dots per inch). This ensures that your sign retains clarity and sharpness, avoiding any pixelation or blur.
- Quality Setting: When saving your image, please do so at the highest quality setting possible. This prevents any loss of detail and ensures the final product meets your expectations.
2. Compatible File Formats: We accept various high-resolution, Photoshop-compatible formats. Your image can be submitted in one of the following formats:
- JPG (.jpg)
- TIFF (.tiff)
- PSD (.psd)
- PDF (.pdf)
- Adobe Illustrator (.ai)
- EPS (.eps)
Please ensure your file is saved in RGB color mode and is flattened, with no layers or transparent backgrounds.
3. Matching the Sign Size: The dimensions of your image must exactly match the size of the sign you're ordering. This is critical for ensuring that the final product looks as intended, without any unexpected cropping or stretching.
Design and Bleed Requirements
- Ready-to-Print: It's important that the image you provide is ready to print. We do not offer design services, so the image must be the final version you wish to see on your sign.
- Bleed: Include a 1/2" bleed around the perimeter of your image. This extra space is necessary for the manufacturing process and ensures that your design extends to the very edge of the sign without any important elements being cut off.
Before You Order
- Pre-Order Check: If you're unsure whether your image meets these requirements, please email it to us at support@jackandfriends.com before placing your order. This step is crucial for avoiding delays or dissatisfaction with the final product.
- What Not to Send: To ensure efficiency and avoid confusion, please do not send small thumbnail images, photos of other signs, or any image that is not the final, ready-to-print version in the correct size and resolution.

NOTES ABOUT RESOLUTION:
HI RES vs LOW RES DPI (Dots per Sq Inch) indicate how many dots or pixels are in a square inch.
The more dots the better the image looks. It can be the same size but with different resolution, an image can be more or less detailed.
It may not be apparent on a computer screen but it will be noticeable when printed.
Printed image is the same size but with different resolutions.

Subimation signs
I ordered several copies of old antique coal mining signs. They came out great and were very reasonably priced. One sign was made incorrectly and was redone at no extra cost. Very pleased with everything and would use them again. Please ask for Barb. She was a delight to work with.
