How do I print a double-sided quick nnouncement?

To print double-sided quick announcements, you'll need separate files for each side.

Here's how that works:

PDFs: Either upload a single 2-page PDF or two individual 1-page PDF files.
Image files: Upload two image files—one for the front, one for the back.

Start by clicking Upload a File on the product page and add both files at once. You can upload:

A 2-page PDF
Two 1-page PDFs
Two image files
Or a mix (e.g., 1 PDF + 1 image)

Once uploaded, you'll be prompted to choose how to organize the files:

Combine Files: Automatically places page 1 on the front and page 2 on the back.
Keep Files Separate: Lets you manually assign which file appears on each side.

If you select "Combine Files," you'll proceed directly to the project setup.

If you choose Keep Files Separate, you'll be taken to My Projects to arrange your files by dragging and dropping them into place. The first file will be used as the front, and the second will be used as the back.

Then, click Set Up Project to continue customizing and completing your order.
