How to ensure the text is the correct size for printing?

If your file contains very small text, it is important to verify that it meets the minimum print size indicated in the instructions for the product you purchased. If these requirements are not met, the text may not be legible in the final printed result.

The minimum required text sizes vary depending on the product, as each material and printing technology has different characteristics and outcomes. Let’s take rigid materials as an example: the instructions specify recommended limits to ensure good legibility:

As you can see, a minimum font size is required, but a minimum stroke thickness is also necessary. It is important to pay close attention to this second requirement, especially if the font you have chosen contains very fine strokes.

In the example below, text smaller than 10 pt is not visible on the printed product.

In the example below, strokes smaller than 0.5 pt are not clearly visible on the printed product.

Always refer to the instructions for the product you purchased and ensure that all the text in your file meets the minimum size requirements for printing.
