FAQ

Q: Can you print a life size cutout of a celebrity or brand character?
A: We cannot print any characters, famous persons, logos, or brands that may be subject to copyright, licensing, or trademark protection—unless you provide us with written permission from the authorised rights holder.

Q: What’s the difference between a “life size cutout” and a “standee”?
A: They’re often used interchangeably. A “life size cutout” is a custom-shaped printed figure, usually at full scale. A “standee” is any upright printed figure, usually with a rear strut or support to make it free-standing.

Q: How do I set up my artwork?
A: Preferrably supply a high-resolution PDF with a transparent or knocked-out background for contour cutting. Our team can help with file setup if needed.

Q: Can I order just one?
A: Yes! We specialise in short runs with no minimum quantity. Order one for a birthday, or many for a national promotion.

Q: How fast can I get it?
A: We can print small quantities same day in Melbourne with pick-up from our store or same day courier delivery in Melbourne metro . For other cities, express dispatch means most major areas receive next business day.

Print Ready Artwork Requirements for Standees

To ensure the best results for your custom standees, please follow these artwork guidelines:

Cutlines (Contour Cutting)

  • Artwork must include a cutline saved as a Spot Colour named ‘Cut’

  • If you’re unsure or need help, select our “Get It Ready” option – we’ll assist with setting up your cutline. (Note: This service applies per artwork kind.)

 File Format

  • High-resolution PDF is required

Standard DPI for Standee Artwork

  • 300 DPI – If the standee will be viewed up close, includes small text or you would like to include smooth detailed graphics like photos.
  • 150 DPI at full size – Recommended minimum for most large-format standees viewed at 1–2 metres. This balances print quality and file size.
  • 100 DPI at full size – Acceptable for very large standees or if viewed from 2+ metres away.

 Colour Management

  • CMYK colour mode only – do not supply artwork in RGB – Why? RGB is a screen-based colour mode and doesn’t translate accurately to print. Files in RGB may shift in colour when converted to CMYK, resulting in unexpected or duller colours on your final print
  • Convert all Pantone colours to CMYK using the PANTONE+ Solid Coated library

  • If not converted, colours will auto-convert to CMYK – please note we cannot guarantee colour accuracy if this occurs

Fonts & Images

  • All fonts must be converted to outlines (paths/curves)

  • Embed all linked images and design elements to prevent missing assets

Bleed

  • Include 3mm bleed on all edges

  • If your artwork doesn’t include bleed, we can apply a 2mm artificial bleed by cloning the edge (where suitable)

Our standees are available in high-quality 5mm Coreflute and Cardboard materials, offering durability and a great finish for both indoor and outdoor use.

Absolutely! We offer custom sizes up to 1200mm x 1800mm. Whether it’s a standard shape or something more unique, we can tailor the standees to fit your specific needs.

No, our standees are made with materials suitable for only indoor environments.

Yes, we can cut a circle or any other shape out from the centre of the stand for interactive purposes like face-in-the-hole photo ops!

It’s important to note that these standees are made of corflute, not wood, steel, or other strong materials. As a result, they are not highly durable and are not recommended for use in situations where they may be handled roughly.

We have a team of professional graphic designers ready to help you create a visually appealing and brand-aligned design for your standees.

Yes, we strictly adhere to copyright and trademark laws. We only print images that you have the legal right to use, especially when it comes to famous people, characters, or brands.
