Art
Requirements
A custom imprinted Promotional Product is a
direct reflection upon your company or organization. We want to ensure your
message or identity is crisp, clean, and consistent. The final product will only
look as good as the artwork submitted to us. For these reasons, we list our
requirements for submitting artwork below. The most common obstacle we have to
overcome in order to print your logo on items is having too low of a resolution
file to successfully print your item. You can always make a large image smaller
without losing quality, you usually can not make a small image larger as needed
for printing without losing quality or causing pixilation (rough edges). Please
read below for exact requirements.
Image Programs In Order of
Preference:
VectorArt
Adobe Illustrator® - EPS, AI (Version CS2 and below. See Files &
Sizes below)
Corel Draw® - CDR (Version 10 and below. See Files & Sizes
below)
Freehand® - FH (Version 9 and below. See Files & Sizes
below)
Raster
Art Adobe Photoshop® - TIFF, PSD (Version CS2 and below. See Files
& Sizes below)
Other Programs
Adobe Acrobat® - PDF (Only if created from a Vector Art
file)
All
other programs - Save artwork as EPS or TIFF format.
(We
may not be able to view other program files, please convert them to adobe
formats if possible.)
Files & Sizes:
ALL VECTOR ART must
be true vector art with no embedded raster art (unless it is 600 DPI (Dots Per
Inch) and to size). All fonts must be converted to outlines/curves. Vector art
is easily scaled up or down so don’t worry about size.
All RASTER ART files
must be a minimum of 600 DPI and to size, this will usually be a very large
file. Sometimes it may be necessary to contact the designer of the image for the
original large version of the image. Many customers experience problems
e-mailing large files due to their email servers file size limits, in this case
it may be necessary to compress the art using several free compression
utilities.
Fonts:
If you are using
a special font, it is critical that you include the font when sending your
artwork, you may select the font by finding it in your font directory and saving
it to your desktop, then attach it with your artwork when sending. If you use
the Style palette to modify your font, it must be converted to outlines/curves,
or saved as a rasterized flat layer image.
What
we can’t use:
We can not accept .jpg, .gif, .doc (Word
Documents) files, or any other low resolution format. If the image you plan to
send comes from or is used on a webpage, there is a 98% chance that it is too
small for use in printing. (Word Documents .doc files are OK if you are printing
typeset or regular text only.)
Submitting Art
We accept files via mail, on 3.5" floppy disks,
100MB Zip disks, or CD-ROMs and by email, which is our preferred method. Please
do not send us your only original copy of artwork by U.S. Mail. Always make us a
copy to avoid possible loss or mail damage. Please call 601-372-7745 with any
questions you may have.

print on your items. This service is $35 per hour and can usually be done in
