 A note about Digital Artwork

Production delays can occur when digital artwork is provided in the wrong format. Much time can be lost with efforts to convert files that are submitted without following the information guidelines below. Please contact us if you have any questions about the suitability of your digital files or any of our format requirements.  

It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you sent email of the artwork and any special instructions.  Please indicate your Order Confirmation Number on the email if you know it. Artwork is only as good as you provide.  Simply because the art file is an EPS or TIFF format does not mean it will be clean and useable.  Sorry we do not accept artwork sent by fax or scan or web graphics as they are produced in a resolution setting (generally 72 dpi) that is too low for our processes to reproduce attractively. We reserve the right to refuse any artwork that will not meet our standards of product quality when reproduced with our equipment and processes.

Preferred File Format

CDR (CorelDraw X8 or earlier), EPS, PNG, TIFF, PDF for laser engraving process. JPEG file (high resolution) is also acceptable to color sublimation process. 

Image Resolution

Image resolution should be a minimum of 300 dpi at 100% imprint size for best reproduction.    

Font Information

If you have a desired font to be used, please convert all text to outlines or curves. Please be aware that once this is done the text in your artwork can no longer be edited. If editing is required you must include the Font name and size (TrueType or Open Type Format) with the file. In some situation we may need you to send the Font file to us. WE DO NOT HAVE EVERY FONT THAT IS AVAILABLE.

Colors 

When assigning a color to art or text, please use a PMS color. This will work for process or spot colors.
