Artwork

Good quality graphics are one of the fundamental requirements for the decoration of your logo or message on any promotional products.



The Quick Artwork Requirement Summary:

Please provide your artwork as a Native Vector file from programs such as Adobe Illustrator or Corel Draw, with all text converted to outlines/curves and lines converted to objects. Please also include PMS numbers as needed.

Text Only Decoration? - No problems, please email us the required basic text, along with preferred font style/s and we will see what we can do.

~ Thanks



For more details, please read on...

All printed/decorated promotional merchandise and corporate gifts orders will be proofed for your approval prior to production. To do this we require your artwork/logo in a suitable file format to ensure reproduction accuracy.


Un-usable art files.

Whilst .DOC/X, JPEG, PDF, .TIF/F, PNG and GIF files are great for proofing and as a guide, they pose significant problems when trying the replicate them. Made up of "bits" (Bitmap) these files cannot be used for colour separation and becoming very pixelated or jagged when enlarged.



The art file of preference is 'Vector' based.

These have graphics that are created with the use a mathematical algorithm and can be resized without loss of quality. Separating colours is an easy process when using these files.

File types that are Vector based include ".EPS", ".AI" (from Adobe Illustrator), ".CDR" (from Corel Draw). These must be "native" or created in Vector based programs. (i.e. a Jpeg file saved in Corel Draw will not become a vector file)

Ideally, logo files supplied for decoration should be PC compatible, and should be converted to curves (outlines) to avoid "font mismatching".

When supplying artwork, please be sure to include the PMS Colour/s (Pantone Matching System) for your logo so that colour accuracy can be achieved.

In the event that quality logo artwork is not available, we have the facility to create, or reproduce brand artwork as required. Costing will be quoted on request.



Artwork Proofing.

On receipt of appropriate artwork files, the first 2 art proofs will be supplied for approval Free of Charge per item ordered. These will be sent to the email address supplied with the order.

Subsequent proofs will be charged at $45+GST per change.

Feel free to contact us to discuss your event specific requirements.

*Some decoration methods (e.g. Embroidery & Full Colour transfers) can use these files if of good quality.
