The following are basic guidelines for artwork submission that follow the industry standards. It is important that all artwork supplied comply with these requirements:

DELIVERY:
Artwork can be submitted via e-mail, disk media (3.5 floppies PC or CD Rom) or as hard copy.

CAmera-ready vs. raster images:
Vector artwork(also called Camera -ready) will be required for most silkscreening, embossing, and imprinting jobs. Vector artwork guarantees the highest quality. Please remember to convert your fonts to curves/paths/outlines or include them with your artwork.

Prefered formats for Vector Artwork:
Corel Draw(.CDR); Adobe Illustrator v.10 (.AI, EPS,TIFF)

Jpeg, Gif, Bmp... or raster images are acceptable formats for embroidery digitizing purposes ONLY. If you must use these formats because of filesize/transfer time make sure you use a very high quality setting(at least 300DPI). These file formats will have image degradation due to the compression and CAN NOT be used for silkscreening, embossing, and imprints. As a result, additional time and charges may be needed to recreate artwork as a vector format.

HARD COPY:
Preferably a clear large black & white, 600 dpi or higher resolution. Depending on the nature of the job, additional time and charges may be needed to recreate artwork as a vector format.

FONTS:
Convert all fonts to outlines, curves, or paths. Once this is done the text in your artwork can no longer be edited. If editing is required you must include the font (true type only) with the file.

COLOURS:
Any colors used in the image must be specified as either Pantone/PMS or by a CMYK breakdown, based on job requirements.

IN-HOUSE GRAPHIC DESIGN SERVICES:
Creative design can be provided by our in-house art department. Clearly explain what you require and any ideas that you may have. Our artists will also clean-up, re-draw, or create your logo for an additional charge. Please inquire...
