Artwork Requirements

We accept MAC or PC versions of art. Digital Printing / Silk Screening Requirements: All art must be Vector/original art, created in Adobe Illustrator Version CC or less, saved as an .EPS or an .AI file, with all fonts converted to curves/outlines. If the artwork includes a photographic image, the image must be submitted as a 300 DPI at actual print size. All artwork submitted has to be in CMYK format. RGB format is not usable. Please note that we are limited to using files that are 900MB or less. Files which are too large to be emailed may be submitted, at no charge, through wetransfer.com. All embedded colors digitally rendered, are “close to” only, not matched. If an exact PMS match is required for Silk Screening, there is an additional fee. Please inquire when placing order.

Vector Art (recommended for all products)

Can be scaled to any size while maintaining quality. Also known as "line art". Vector artwork is preferred, unless printing photos.
File Formats: .eps, .ai, .pdf


Outlined Fonts (required for all products)

Fonts can vary from computer to computer. When a font is missing, the computer replaces it with generic font.
Outline, embed or convert fonts to curves.


Embedded Images (Required for all products)

Most programs allow the user to add an object or image to a file by linking or embedding. Embedded images are stored within the document itself, while linked files are not. Because of this, linked files can become unlinked and "go missing" when opened on a different computer. Embed all images to avoid missing images.

Raster Art

Composed of pixels, timy colored squares grouped together to make one big image. When scaled larger, image will look jagged or "pixelated".
Also known as "bitmap art".
