  • CDR
  • EPS
  • SVG
  • PDF

  • PNG

Raster Vs. Vector

Send us vector files so that we can make sure your logo is clear. Raster images seem pixelated, but vector files retain excellent picture quality at any scale.


How to Convert Text to Outlines

To guarantee that your artwork is reproduced just as you entered it, convert your text to outlines before emailing or uploading your project. Here's how you use Illustrator to turn text into outlines:

  • Choose the layer with text. Next, select "Type" and then "Create Outlines"


Design Artwork

Resolution

  • Please ensure that your file is vector art or at least 300 dpi. Please refrain from increasing the resolution if your image is less than 300 dpi, since this will cause the image to become fuzzy.


Bleed

  • The phrase "bleed" refers to printing that extends over a document's edge, eliminating any visible white space, such as the blue area seen in the example image. To avoid any white borders showing, stretch the backdrop all the way to the edge and slightly beyond it to create a full-bleed image.


Online Pictures

  • Usually 72 dpi, images downloaded from websites are of insufficient quality to print. Additionally, we advise against using web photos as copyright limitations can apply. It is OK to use high-resolution photos from stock picture websites.
