Artwork

Most artwork will need to be vectored art: Adobe Illustrator files (vector art with paths) saved as .AI or .EPS, .PDF, or .SVG format with all fonts converted to outlines is preferred. For full-color digital imprint method rastered art may be excepted. These files should be a resolution of 600 dpi at 100% of the requested size: The file should be saved in either a .TIF, .EPS, or .JPG format. Keep in mind that artwork created in Microsoft Office programs such as PowerPoint, Word, Publisher, Excel, etc. is not acceptable.

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. Vector files provide a high quality of reproduction based on their clean lines and curves. Vector artwork provides sharper and smoother output. It is the only file type for clean resizing.  Most promotional products producers will not accept or guarantee their work without vector artwork.

Vector files are usually created in dedicated vector graphics editing programs, such as Adobe Illustrator. The acceptable output files from Illustrator saved in outlines are: .AI | .EPS | .PDF | .SVG. If a file is saved in one of these formats (.eps, .ai or .pdf), that does not mean it is truly vector art. Only art originally created in a vector editing program, such as Adobe Illustrator, is truly vector art. Even then, fonts that have not been converted to outlines and linked or embedded art may exist within the Illustrator file that will make the correct saved format unusable. If your file is saved as a .JPG | .PNG | .BMP | .GIF | .PSD | .TIF it is NOT vector art. If this is all you have, please speak to customer service to see if we can vectorize your file for a small fee.

If you had a professional designer create your artwork or logo, there is a good chance it is vector.  However, they may not have sent it to you in the correct format. Ask them for the “native vector file”. Even though you may not be able to open it, this will most likely be what we are looking for (.AI or .SVG).

1. Raster art (also called bitmap art) is a dot matrix data structure representing digital art composed of horizontal and vertical rows of pixels or points of color. A raster is technically characterized by the width and height of the image in pixels and by the number of bits per pixel. When raster images are enlarged, the image quality diminishes. The following file types are ALWAYS raster-based:  .JPG | .GIF | .PNG | .TIF | .BMP | .PSD

2. Vector art is made up of lines, curves, shapes and fonts all saved in outlines. Vector graphics appear smooth at the edges no matter how they are sized which provides a high quality of reproduction. The following file types are OFTEN vector-based: .AI | .EPS | .PDF

Send over whatever you have and let us evaluate it. We will do whatever we can to make sure that your order is not held up because of artwork issues. We can recreate your logo quickly with little or no charge. For most artwork we offer this service for a small fee of $25. Actual cost will be quoted upon request. When completed we give you the file to own and reuse. This is a tremendous savings of time and money. Note – you must have the rights to the artwork being vectorized.

PMS stands for Pantone Matching System®. PMS Color charts allow you to choose the exact color of your logo based on a 3-4 digit color system. Not all products allow for PMS color matching and some will have an extra fee. This will be listed on the product page. PLEASE NOTE: Because computer monitors display colors in RGB format, the color that you see on your screen may not be accurately calibrated to the actual PMS color chart.  Most of our items use the PMS solid coated color books.

In most cases, we can typeset information with our standard fonts without you providing it in a vector art file. If you would like us to use a font we do not have, you may supply the font file. In most cases this is a free service we offer.
