Artwork Specifications
All artwork should be submitted using one of our pre-approved templates located below. Any font adjustments, sizing, placement, color choices, and layout are the responsibility of the customer to determine before placing an order. There is a $50 Re-Proofing fee. Please triple check and make sure all typos, spelling and design choices are corrected before you send us files and we prep your files for printing. If a template does not exist for your project, or it is a custom sizing, please contact us first to discuss logistics and creation of a new custom template.
Submitting Art
ADOBE SUITE (PSD, EPS, AI) – Artwork should be saved as a 300-600 DPI UNFLATTENED Photoshop or Illustrator file, with your art on a separate layer from the template. All fonts should be converted to shapes or included by email. ADOBE PDF (PDF) – Artwork should be saved as a 300-600 DPI PDF file with layers & editing still intact, or with all template guides and labels turned off. All fonts should be converted to shapes or included by email. JPEG, JPG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, or any other rasterized files that contain flattened layers are not accepted. NOTICE: Any artwork which does not use our templates, is of poor resolution, or contains layers flattened together is subject to a Design Fee of $50 per hour with a 1 hour minimum, regardless of design complexity. While we do our best to catch errors as early as possible, we are not responsible for mistakes caused by misspellings and other design flaws in submitted artwork.
