Q: What’s the best file format to use for fabric or wallpaper printing?

We recommend high-res PDF, TIFF or EPS files. Make sure your resolution is at least 150 to 300dpi at full size and all fonts are outlined or embedded. Need help setting it up? Just send what you’ve got, we’ll advise or adjust for print.

Q: What is the turnaround time for fabric printing?

For most standard fabric orders, expect a 5 to 10 business day turnaround once artwork is approved. Need it faster? We offer rush options on select textiles. Just ask, we’re set up for speed without sacrificing quality.

Q: How long does it take to print custom wallpaper?

We usually ship custom wallpaper orders within 7 to 14 working days, depending on the complexity, volume, and finish. If you’re working to a deadline, whether for an exhibition, install, or editorial, let us know early. We’ve helped everyone from solo artists to large studios hit tight timelines.

Q: Who else do you print for?

We keep that confidential. And that’s good news for you, because it means we’ll do the same for your brand. Whether you’re launching your first pattern or scaling internationally, your ideas stay yours. You won’t see them popping up in someone else’s catalogue. What we can say is, we are very familiar with some of the leading designers and brands across the world. Maybe you will be the next one we work with?

Q: Do you offer pattern books?

Yes, and they’re designed to help you sell. Whether you’re presenting to a stockist, a showroom, or just want to make your brand feel polished, pattern books create an emotional experience for your customer. We can help you choose designs, structure layouts, and even produce short runs. By investing in pattern books and not unnecessary rolls for stock, your ability to grow your business just became a faster reality.

Q: Should I charge for samples?

That depends on your model, but many of our customers do. Charging even a small fee helps filter timewasters and fund your marketing. Want to know what others do? We can share some approaches, from refundable sample fees to tiered pricing. Just ask.

Q: Do you provide samples?

Yes, and they can be a real game-changer. We offer A5, A4, and folded A3. Why folded A3? Because it fits through a letterbox, saves on postage, and still wows your client. Some of our most successful clients built their business on beautiful samples, whether at exhibition pop-ups, in mailers, or on Instagram and Facebook.

Q: Is your wallpaper flame retardant?

Yes, and certified to EN 13501-1 (B, s1, d0). That might sound technical, but it’s a big deal if you’re pitching to hotels, restaurants, or even high-end residential clients. This rating means your wallpaper is safe, compliant, and ready for commercial specifiers. It’s not just about print, it’s about access to markets that expect this level of certification.
