Can I scale 50%, 25% or change resolutions?

Sometimes! If your banner size is HUGE, some software limitations may be applied. We use and recommend the Easy Template Maker. The Easy Template Maker will tell you the best 'downsize' to use. Please keep in mind that SCALED down proportions must be correct for automatic processes to begin.


Downscaling files. Your best results are when you design 100% at full size 72dpi.

'Fold Over' Bleed = 'Material Over Size'

  • The hem is folded over and sewn.
  • This fold over bleed is called Material Over Size (MOS).
  • Material must be added to your finished order size.

What is Material Over Size (MOS) and why do I need it?

Material Over Size is the 'larger uncut manufacturing size' needed to fold the hem sizes. The edges are folded over and hemmed.

If you do not have MOS your design layout is too small to manufacture. The edges will be short and your graphics may not print correctly.

All product (excluding knife edge only) MUST have extra dimension for manufacturing a hem. The hem is folded over.

You can have graphic printed edges but remember, these will be folded over.

MOS is also referred to as 'Fold over bleed'...



MOS Material Over Size is also knows as 'Fold Over Bleed'

Why do I need it?

Without fold over bleed, we can not hem your order.

Without fold over bleed, your print may be disproportional.

Without fold over bleed, your finished order size will be wrong.


How do I get the correct fold over bleed size?

Use the Easy Template Maker, it will show you the custom specifications to suit your options. Watch How To video here


Q. Do you use Bleed? No, Bleed is a paper term that is trimmed away. We use Material Over Size. It is not removed and is folded to create a hem.

Uploading: Your file appears to be incorrect MOS...please reset your file. See: What is this and what do I do?.

Other acceptable formats (background only NO layers)

.pdf .psd .psb .eps .jpg .png .tiff

Not acceptable

Also see: Is my file suitable?

Do I supply traditional trim bleed?

NO No, 'Bleed' is a traditional paper printing term that is 'trimmed away'. We use a term called 'FOLD OVER BLEED'.


We use 'Fold-Over-Bleed' = Material Over Size

Please learn more, this is important. Products made by SBO require additional size to fold over and become a hem. You must set a larger dimension suitable for your Material Over Size.


Do not set up any files with traditional bleed, marks, trim identifiers or color bars anywhere. MAKING A BANNER is NOT the SAME as paper.

Bleed is a traditional paper printing term that is trimmed away. We use FOLD OVER BLEEDArranging your file

Important! We employ Direct to Fabric Digital Printing (Duracoestatic) wherein... pixel perfect edges are created that DO NOT REQUIRE TRIM Markings, DO NOT REQUIRE Color bars or any other marks. The Material Over Size dimension is the outer edge that is then folded inwards to become a hem. Please read about it.


"Banners are not cut like business cards... because the edges are folded over and sewn."
