Art Requirements

It is in all of our best interests to work with the highest quality artwork possible - it simply makes the final product better!


It is left to our artists' discretion to determine whether supplied artwork is of sufficient quality for your job - artwork of insufficient quality may incur additional costs.


Vector Artwork

In general, vector-based artwork allows us to achieve the best results, as the artwork can be scaled to any size without any loss of quality. Examples of common vector artwork file types include Adobe Illustrator (.ai), Encapsulated Postscript (.eps) and Portable Document Format (.pdf). When providing artwork it would be best to send those file types first if possible.


Non-Vector (Raster) Artwork

If vector artwork is not available or for some reason inapplicable (ie. for photograph-based, raster imagery, etc.), we require images to have a minimum resolution of 100dpi at print size for best results. We would also prefer to work with native files (for example, layered Photoshop files) rather than flattened or compressed files such as jpeg.


Color Matching

If your artwork requires color matching, please provide the specific Pantone numbers for us to match.


If you have any questions or concerns, or you would like to prepare print-ready files yourself on our templates, feel free to contact us and someone from our design or production departments would be happy to assist you.

Vector Vs. Raster Graphic


Vector Artwork: In vector artwork, the graphics are based on mathematical relationships between points, which allows the image to be scaled to any size without any loss of quality. Vector artwork is typically created with an illustration program (such as Adobe Illustrator), and is the preferred format for logo creation because of its crisp lines and scalability.

Raster Artwork: Raster artwork is made up of tiny dots called pixels. Each dot can be a different color, allowing for rich, full-colour photographic images. Raster artwork files are typically created with photo-editing software (such as Photoshop). In general, raster artwork cannot be increased in size without losing quality.
