Yes, for a standard size platform CLICK HERE and for a large size platform CLICK HERE. Please ensure artwork is exported as vector or at 300dpi CMYK with all text outlined.

All print files should be provided in a vector format to avoid quality loss.

Most vector files end with .ai or .svg, however, sometimes PDF can be vector. If you are unsure whether your PDF is a vector please forward your files to info@poolplatforms.co.uk and include your order reference number.

Most standard image formats are rasterized which means they have a set width and height. Stretching a rasterized image beyond its set width and height will cause the overall image to lose quality. With a vector however every part of the artwork is done mathematically with lines and shapes meaning that it can be stretched to any size without quality loss.

If you have print ready artwork, please forward this to —@—–. If your file exceeds 20mb please use www.WeTransfer.com
