With many design tools, you'll want to produce a PDF to send to the printing service.
Either use
You'll need to use the command pdflatex

(which are included with most TeX distributions) to output a PDF file. For more information on this, consult the documentation for your particular TeX distribution.
Though Adobe Creative Suite tools can easily produce PDFs, many of their proprietary file types (such as .ai for Illustrator and .psd for photoshop) are usable on their own by printing services.
Another common file type used for design work is .eps, Encapsulated Post Script. Adobe Creative Suite tools can create .eps files, as can other design tools, such as Inkscape.
