💡 Resolution rule

For large format print: supply at 300dpi at 1:10 scale of actual size, or 30dpi at actual size. Vector (AI/PDF) is always preferred.

💡 Word count

Highway billboards: maximum 5–7 words. Pedestrian/transit: up to 15 words. Less is always more — drivers have 3–5 seconds.

💡 Bleed area

Add 3–5% bleed on all sides for print billboards. Confirm exact specifications with your media owner before finalising artwork.
