Art Requirements For Printed Products
A great promotional item starts with great art. We want your logo and company image to look as dynamic as possible on a promotional customized product. This all starts with good artwork. Below are guidelines to achieve the best possible outcome.
Acceptable art formats
We accept all vector artwork. Artwork in this format provides superior reproduction quality and allows images to be resized without losing any detail and sharpness
Preferred:
- EPS Encapsulated Post Script
- Ai Adobe Illustrator
Acceptable
- CDR Corel Draw
- PDF Portable Document Format
Artwork with Text
We recommend that all text be converted to outlines when possible. If not, all fonts, font suitcases, printer fonts and screen fonts must be included with your art. Please note that the smallest text size that can be imprinted is typically around 6-8 pt
If you have any other questions, feel free to contact us we’ll walk you through it.
What is the difference between Vector Artwork and Raster Artwork?
The difference between vector and raster graphics is that raster graphics are composed of pixels, while vector graphics are composed of paths. A raster graphic, such as a gif or jpeg, is an array of pixels of various colors, which together form an image. A vector graphic, such as an .eps file or Adobe Illustrator file, is composed of paths, or lines, that are either straight or curved. Because vector graphics are not made of pixels, the images can be scaled to be very large without losing quality. Raster graphics, on the other hand, become "blocky," since each pixel increases in size as the image is made larger. This is why logos and other designs are typically created in vector format -- the quality will look the same on a business card as it will on a billboard
