Artwork Guidelines

At our online store, we want to ensure your order turns out perfectly. If you're uncertain about the quality of your artwork, there's no need to worry. Simply upload your artwork when placing your order, and we'll review it for quality to ensure optimal results. If we identify any issues, we'll notify you right away. To achieve the best possible outcome and avoid delays, please follow the guidelines below:

Preferred Format: Vector Artwork

If you have artwork available in vector format, we recommend submitting it in EPS format. For EPS submissions, please ensure the following:

• Flatten/Merge all layers
• Flatten transparencies
• Convert all text to outlines/curves (except for fields intended for serialization)
• Include fonts that are not converted to outlines/curves by zipping and attaching the font files with your artwork
• If using Adobe Illustrator, save the file as Illustrator 8 EPS compatible for maximum compatibility

Alternative Formats: Bitmap Artwork

If vector files are unavailable, you may submit bitmap artwork. The most common format is JPEG (JPG), but we also accept TIFF, GIF, PNG, AI, PDF, and most other formats. For lossy formats like JPEG, please use the highest quality (lowest compression) setting to preserve image clarity.

Resolution Guidelines

For bitmap artwork, please aim for the following resolutions:

• Recommended: 1200ppi (pixels per inch) at actual product size.
  Example: For a 1"x1" label, provide an image of 1200x1200 pixels.
• Acceptable: 600ppi or 300ppi at actual product size.
• Not Recommended: Resolutions above 1200ppi, as they do not provide additional quality benefits. However, higher resolutions are still acceptable.

Compression Settings

When saving files in JPEG, GIF, PNG, PDF, or any other format with compression, use the following:

• Lowest compression level
• Widest color palette
• Highest quality setting

These settings will help preserve image quality and ensure optimal results.

Fonts

For vector artwork formats (such as EPS or AI), convert all fonts to paths/outlines. If fonts cannot be converted, please include the font files in a ZIP file with your artwork submission.

Colors

For the best color accuracy, submit artwork in the CMYK color model. However, RGB color model files are also acceptable. Refer to your design software documentation for instructions on color mode settings.

Bleed Area

For designs requiring full bleed, include at least 1/8 inch of safe area around the edges of your artwork. This ensures that no essential elements are trimmed or positioned too close to the edge.

If you have any questions about submitting your artwork or need further assistance, our team is happy to help!
