ARTWORK SPECIFICATIONS
Already have digital artwork?
Files should be saved in PC format with 3mm of bleed, trim marks and die lines (where appropriate). Colours should be CMYK and text converted to paths/curves/outlines. Please check your file meets our criteria listed below. We prefer these vector formats: .cdr (version 12), .ai (version CS12), .eps, .pdf, .ps but can also except these raster formats: .jpeg, .bmp, .psd, .tiff
Raster files need to be high resolution - 600dpi (not just resampled) also with 3mm of bleed and trim marks (no die lines). If changes are required to these files extra charges may be incurred.
Already have artwork, but not in digital format?
Our designers can turn your printed logo/design into a digital format. A vector file is usually created as this can be accepted by anyone in the print trade e.g. Signwriters, Screenprinters, Offset Printers, and will never distort or deterarate no matter how large it is reproduced. Again the costs will be given on a case by case basis as the complexity of artwork needs to be assessed. Once we have created your artwork it can be supplied via email or on a CD in industry standard formats .eps, .ai, .psd, & jpg to ensure you will never have to pay reproduction costs again.
We have listed information below to help you help us to minimise mistakes and to ensure a fast turnaround.
