Vector artwork is preferred whenever available. Common formats include AI, EPS, SVG, and print-ready PDF. High-resolution PNG or JPG files may be suitable for some applications.
Provide original logo artwork where possible. Fonts should be outlined, or the required font files and usage information should be supplied separately.
Provide Pantone, CMYK, RGB, or HEX references when brand color accuracy is important. Final matching can vary by material, print method, and production process.
Production begins only after the applicable artwork, placement, specifications, and project details have been reviewed and approved.
ARTWORK WORKFLOW
Artwork requirements differ by item, but the review process generally follows the same sequence before production starts.
Send the best available logo, artwork, colors, fonts, and any placement or sizing instructions.
We review the files against the product and decoration method and identify anything that needs adjustment or clarification.
Where applicable, a proof or mockup is prepared showing the artwork placement, size, and relevant production details.
Production begins only after the applicable artwork and project specifications have been approved.
PRODUCTION NOTE
Some products require specific file setup, print dimensions, bleed, color modes, or decoration limitations. Our team will confirm any product-specific requirements during the quoting and proofing process.
