Submitting Artwork & Art charges

Your artwork can be supplied in several ways. Specific computer files are best as they allow us the most control and flexibility. The proper file is important because, more often than not, your artwork will need to be adjusted in order to be applied properly to the large variety of products we have available.
Vector based images are best as they allow us to scale your artwork without losing any image quality (see illustration below). Colour separation is just one of many tasks that are made easier by having the proper artwork file on hand.

PC Applications:
  • Vector Based EPS files (.eps)
  • Corel Draw  v10 (.cdr)
  • Adobe Illustrator  v10 (.ai)
