What is Vector Artwork?

A vector file is made up of lines, curves, shapes and fonts all saved in outlines; different than files many people are more accustomed to via Microsoft Office.  A Vector file is a graphics file that contains a vector image, rather than a raster or bitmapped image. Shapes and lines make up vector graphics, which are fully scalable images, while raster images are made of pixels and cannot be scaled up without loss. Vector graphics appear smooth at the edges no matter how they are sized, whereas raster graphics appear jagged, or pixilated when scaled up.

What is acceptable artwork for my products?
