SRA Sheet Sizes & Artwork Sizes
Unfinished sheets are larger than the Artwork Size because they haven't been trimmed. This extra space lets the paper pass through the printing machines smoothly, using rollers and clamps, without any risk of damaging your artwork. This is why the printable area is smaller.
Please see the table below for SRA sheet sizes and their respective artwork sizes.
SRA Sheet Size
Artwork Size
SRA1: 900mm x 640mm
878mm x 600mm
SRA2: 640mm x 450mm
600mm x 424mm
SRA3: 450mm x 320mm
428mm x 306mm
Please supply your print file in the appropriate Artwork Size with bleed areas.
SRA Sheet Sizes & A Sizes

Colour
For best results, we recommend creating your artwork in CMYK Colour with 300dpi image resolution. Please be aware that uploaded RGB files will be converted to CMYK by our system, which may change some colours.
Black text should be set up with 100% black only to achieve the clearest printed text.
If you are printing in greyscale, please set your artwork to greyscale prior to upload.
Bleed
We ask for a 3mm bleed and a 3mm quiet area on all artwork. Please do not add any important content within this area.
Lamination
We can provide lamination for posters as long as the paper weight is 170gsm or higher. Paper lighter than 170gsm will curl if we try to laminate it.
Completing your order
Please ensure that you upload artwork in the correct size and with the correct number of sides before completing your order.
