Are there any hidden charges in printing orders?

Accepted Answer

No, all costs are transparent. Any additional services like design or urgent printing will be clearly mentioned.

Question 11

Do you offer bulk printing discounts?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Because the bulk of the cost in commercial printing is in the initial setup, the unit price drops significantly as your quantity increases. Our pricing calculator automatically applies bulk discounts at higher volume tiers.

Question 12

How can I get the best price for printing in Dubai?

Accepted Answer

The best way to optimize your cost is to plan ahead and order in larger quantities to take advantage of economies of scale. Additionally, selecting standard sizes rather than custom dimensions can help reduce paper waste and lower your final cost.

Yes, we offer fast, reliable shipping across all Emirates including Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah. We also facilitate international shipping for select B2B orders, please contact our support team for international freight estimates.

Question 14

Can I change my shipping address after placing the order?

Accepted Answer

You can update your shipping address by contacting customer support as long as the order has not yet been dispatched from our facility. Once it is with the courier, rerouting may cause delays.

Question 15

How long does printing and delivery take in Dubai?

Accepted Answer

Production usually takes 2–5 business days depending on the product, plus delivery time.

Question 16

How do I prepare my print-ready files?

Accepted Answer

For the best results, ensure your artwork is saved as a high-resolution PDF with a minimum of 300 DPI. Include a 3mm bleed on all sides, keep vital text within the safe margin, outline all typography, and ensure the document is set to CMYK color mode.

Question 17

What file format is best for professional printing?

Accepted Answer

For best results, we recommend PDF (print-ready), AI (Adobe Illustrator), PSD (Adobe Photoshop), or high-resolution PNG files with proper bleed and crop marks.

Question 18

What is the bleed, trim, and safe area?

Accepted Answer

The "trim" is the final cut size of your printed piece. The "bleed" is an extra 3mm of artwork extending beyond the trim line to ensure there are no white edges when the paper is cut. The "safe zone" is the area inside the trim line where all important text and logos should be kept.

Question 19

Should I use CMYK or RGB color mode for print?

Accepted Answer

All print files must be set to CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Key/Black). RGB is used for digital screens and web design. If you submit files in RGB, our system will automatically convert them to CMYK, which can result in slight color shifts.

Question 20

What is the ideal resolution for high-quality printing?

Accepted Answer

All raster images (photos) must be at least 300 DPI (Dots Per Inch) at their final physical print size. Using low-resolution web images (72 DPI) will result in a blurry or pixelated final product.

Question 21

Can I use templates to set up my file?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we provide free downloadable templates for standard products like business cards, flyers, and standard packaging boxes. These templates include the exact dielines, bleed, trim, and safe zone guidelines to ensure your design is perfectly formatted.

Question 22

How do I order printing online on Printcraft.ae?

Accepted Answer

Question 25

Can I split an order into different designs?

Accepted Answer

Standard orders are priced per design due to machine setup requirements. If you have multiple versions (e.g., 5 different business card designs for 5 employees), please add each design as a separate item in your cart.

Question 26

What is your minimum order quantity (MOQ)?

Accepted Answer

Our MOQs vary by product. For standard digital prints like business cards or flyers, MOQs can be very low. For custom luxury packaging, magnetic boxes, or offset printing runs, the MOQ is slightly higher to ensure cost-effectiveness for both parties. Check individual product pages for specific limits.
