Artwork Requirements
Ideally we need vector artwork files, which can be scaled or modified without losing quality, making them great for printing! Vectors usually come in two formats. EPS (file ends in .eps) or Adobe Illustrator (file ends in .ai). If you are still confused, don’t worry. Just contact us and we can work through it with you or get our team to construct some!
Embroidery
A very common method for apparel and caps. Embroidery can PMS colour match logos and most designs can be achieved. A long-lasting method, with the decoration lasting as long as the garment.
Digital Transfer
A digital transfer produces full colour designs which are heat pressed onto your item. This method is best for complex colour designs.
Sublimation
A great option for printing vibrant colours, as the ink permeates the surface the print looks apart of the product. Permanently dyed and can be washed out without any quality loss. Common for sporting apparel stubby coolers, mouse pads and coffee mugs.
Screen Printing
Screen printing is a process of forcing ink through a mesh screen onto a product. This process is ideal for larger surface areas of the same colour. A very common method for printing on tee shirts.
Laser Engraving
Laser engraving produces a high-quality natural finish and becomes a permanent fixture on your item. This is a subtle method, but produces a great result on metal, wood, plastic or glass.
Pad Print
Using a silicone pad to transfer an image onto the product. Great for printing on curved or uneven surfaces like pens and drink bottles. Usually works with a range from one to four colours.
Embossing & Debossing
Embossing presses a hot metal plate onto a surface and raises the logo, which can have further ink applied to the design. Debossing creates the opposite affect by creating an depressed indent in the material.
