Supplying Your Artwork

Most of the promotional items shown on our site will printed on to the item by using a screen or tampo printing process – both of these methods are ideally suited to producing line/flat colours. This ensures we can obtain very accurate colour matches in close registration onto our different items.

Artwork Specifications

To allow us to print your logo onto any of our promotional items we need your artwork in a digital format. On your computer you will be able to create your artwork in variety of formats, but only a small number of these are capable of producing acceptable quality for Screen or Tampo printing - so please read the information below to find out what formats you will need to save you artwork in.

Preferred File Formats:

When submitting your artwork to us, we ask that it is created in Adobe Illustrator and saved as an EPS or AI file incorporating these points:

• All imported files must be embedded and not linked
• Each colour must be clearly labeled with its colour reference (Pantone Reference)
• All fonts must be converted to outlines before saving.
• Line colours only (no halftones) - unless you are having an item printed in full colour process.

Hint For multi-colour printing on items - please ensure that each colour you want printing on your item is on its own layer. as this will enable us to colour separate your artwork easily and make modifications if required.

JPEG Files are acceptable for single colour work only. The image must be in black & white and not colour. Files should be sufficiently large to ensure that sharp edge definition can be printed. You should be able to check this by printing your image on a laser printer at 200%. Please be careful when saving JPEG files as they are designed to compress on copying. This has an adverse affect on quality.

TIFF Files are acceptable for single colour work only. The image must be in black & white and not colour. The files should be sufficiently large to ensure that sharp edge definition can be printed. You should be able to check this by printing your image on a laser printer at 200%.

GIF's & Bitmap's are NOT acceptable as artwork and we can not use these to print onto your items!
