Artwork

Guidelines for acceptable file formats when submitting artwork
To make the decoration process as fast and efficient as possible, we prefer artwork to be submitted in a usable vector format. In fact, we won’t charge you an artwork fee if you provide one of the following usable vector formats:

  • Adobe Illustrator (CS4-latest) files in an AI or EPS format with all fonts converted to outlines.
Don’t have a vector file?

Don’t worry. Using the latest software and technology, we can convert other file types into a usable vector format. The following file types may be accepted:

  • Adobe Photoshop files in .eps or .tif format at 300dpi resolution and at actual print size or larger than intended final imprint. Be sure to also send us any font files, or list the fonts if you do not have them.
  • High resolution (at least 300 dpi) .jpg, .tiff or .png file.

Converting your file into a usable vector file may result in additional charges.

FAQs

What is the charge to vectorize artwork?

There is a $25.00-$50.00 art charge to prepare your submitted vector file as production-ready art.

Are there any limitations on the types of graphics that can be reproduced with the embroidery process?

Yes. Small text, fine detail, and color gradients can be difficult to reproduce with embroidery. Additionally, the type of fabric the logo is applied to affects the level of detail that can be reproduced. In general, screen printing produces a more accurate replica of your logo or artwork.

Can I use a specific font in my artwork?

Yes. Our art professionals have access to more than 10,000 fonts to provide you with the perfect font choice. If a specific font is used in your artwork, please e-mail us the font file (in a true type font, for example, not just the name). If you are submitting an .EPS or .AI file, please make sure all fonts are outlined/converted to vector format in your artwork file.
