Place your order and send your file!
Once you have confirmed the products in your Basket and placed your order, you can upload the file in the Upload Area.

Download the Template and Instructions for your configured product to create accurate files that are optimised for printing.
The Template is a file that helps you to create and adapt your artwork for your chosen format. It requires a desktop publishing program to open and edit it, preferably a vector graphics editor.
The Instructions file contains all the information you need to create a print-ready file.

Send the file and track the printing process.
If the uploaded file does not comply with the rules it will not be sent for printing, which may postpone the delivery date.
Non-compliant files require action on your part - you will be sent a notification email to the address linked to your Pixartprinting account. Check your emails frequently to remain up-to-date.

Your goods will be delivered by one of the following couriers:

This service is free!


View the shipping costs for your order on the Basket page.
The system automatically updates the postage and packing costs every time you add a product to your basket.

Products sent in large packages may require couriers to organise a special delivery service, thus postponing the delivery date.
