Tips for Best Results

  • 1Always send the highest-resolution version of your artwork.
  • 2Convert all text to outlines/curves before submitting vector files.
  • 3Include a flat-color version of your logo if possible — it simplifies screen separation.
  • 4If your design uses specific Pantone colors, include them in the file or order notes.
  • 5Not sure if your file is ready? Send it over — our team will review it for free.
