Artwork is required for any form of decoration. We realise that not all companies understand the terminology of some of the files, so the information below should be helpful. Your printer is a good place to start if you have no artwork on file, or anybody who has created the logo or has printed the logo. Saving a jpeg for example as a pdf will not convert it to a pdf, it still remains a jpeg. It’s a bit like having a photo of a car and re naming it a plane. It is still a car.
VECTOR ART
In very simple terms, it can be enlarged many times without loosing any quality.
Perhaps a better term would be "vector-based art," meaning art created in a vector-based program. Vector art consists of creating paths and points in a program such as Illustrator or Freehand. The program keeps track of the relationships between these points and paths. Vectors are any scaleable objects that keeps their proportions and quality when sized up or down. They're defined as solid objects, and can be moved around in full, or grouped together with other objects. Vectors can be defined by mathematical and numeric data. So vector art is anything that's created in Illustrator, Freehand, Corel Draw, Flash or other "vector" illustration programs.
The other side of the coin is raster art. Raster art consists of pixel information, where every pixel is assigned a RGB or CMYK value. This can create smoother and more detailed images for photos and paintings, but if the image is scaled, the program has to create new information resulting in that distorted look.
EMBROIDERY
We can turn almost any design into an embroidered logo. This process is called digitising, (which means we convert your logo into a program written in a format that embroidery machines can read).
Please email us a clean large image of your logo. A vectorised version is always best. But any of the files below in good resolution will be ok.
Accepted formats are: jpeg – pdf – bmp – tif – cdr – ai – eps – pcx or gif.
SCREEN PRINTING
For screen printing we will definitely need vector based art work, as explained above many companies have their logo as a pdf or ai file, both of which are vectorised forms. A jpeg is no good. If you don’t have the correct file, please contact your printer who in most cases will have the correct file type. If you would rather we make contact with your printer and discuss the logo and files on your behalf, we are only too pleased to do so.
PAD PRINTING
Pad printing falls into the same category as screen printing and we require a vectorised file.
ENGRAVING
Engraving falls into the same category as screen printing and we require a vectorised file.
