Artwork Guidelines
Ideally your artwork should be in one of the following formats:
- .eps with fonts converted to outline.
- .ai with fonts converted to outlines
- .pdf with fonts embedded.
Where that's not possible we can also accept these files:
- .jpeg of at least 500dpi
- .bmp of at least 500dpi
If you have artwork in a different format then we may still be able to work with it. If in doubt, send it across to us on an email and we'll take a look at it for you.
In some circumstances we may not be able to work with your file in .jpeg or .bmp format (for example in more complex vehicle livery designs). If this is the case then we'll get in touch and try and find a way around the problem. In some instances this might mean we have to charge you an artwork fee, but we'll let you know before we start any work and ask you to confirm that you're happy to go ahead.
Color Matching
If you need a specific colour match then we will ask you to send us a physical sample of the colour or colours you need. We would also recommend that you request a printed proof of your order. Where printed proofs are not supplied and approved we cannot guarantee a colour match.
