What you need to know before sending your art file:
File Specifications
For creating our products we need a Vector File. Vector Files are images composed of connecting lines, points, curves and shapes. This allows us to resize the logo without getting any pixelation. It keeps the logo looking crisp as we recreate it using our types of manufacturing processes.
Acceptable file formats:
- AI (Adobe Illustrator) Adobe Illustrator files should not contain any imported images with an active link.
- EPS
- PDF vector artwork that has all the text converted to curves or outlines. TIFF, BMP, JPG, PNG or other Raster images that are black and white camera-ready artwork. No Grayscale. Below is a more detailed explanation.
Resolution:
- Most of our processes require a minimum of 300 dpi resolution.
- Graphics designed for use on the internet will not work for engraving as they are typically 72 or 96 DPI.
File Size
For files larger than 2MB, we recommend compressing the file.
Color Art
If specific color matches are required, you will need to provide Pantone numbers to identify each color. We cannot guarantee exact color matches, but we can come close.
Platform
We are a PC based company.
What if you don't have the file type we need?
No worries. We can convert your low-resolution logo files to the file type we need. Sometimes it is a simple conversion, and sometimes we must completely redraw your logo.
The charge to do this varies with the materials you send us and the product you are ordering, typical conversions cost between $25-$50 for simple designs and $50-$100 for more complex designs.
