What is a printable?
A printable is a digital file (PDF) that you purchase, download, edit and print as many times as you need, for your event. If you like to DIY, printables can save you a lot of money on your event budget. Printable files are available for all of your event needs—invitations, signage, games, programs, menus, tags, labels and more!

It’s easy to print the 8.5” x 11” PDF template on your inkjet or laser printer. Choose the correct type of paper for your project. Print as many sheets as you need. Crop marks are provided on your template to align your ruler and trim with an X-acto knife.

Trim Printouts using crop marks
Align your ruler with the black crop marks provided. Make cuts horizontally and vertically with your X-acto knife to trim the paper completely. Warning: X-acto blades are very sharp. Please be careful.
