Artwork Guidelines
General Tips:
Please read the following carefully. If you have any doubts please contact our design team.
With one of the most comprehensive in-house studios and screen departments in the country we are able to offer a large variety of services to help you get the best image on your flag or banner - including:
- Full design service
- Image manipulation
- Redraws to vector(eps) files
We are able to handle all files, but for the quickest and most economic handling of your designs, please submit artwork in one of these preferred filetypes:
- Adobe Illustrator (.ai)
- PostScript (.eps)
- Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) - print quality output
- JPEG (.jpg, .jpeg) - must be high resolution
Text
Fonts must be supplied for all documents as well as those used in supporting imported or placed files. Text to outlines: Where possible all text should be converted to curves, this prevents your type face being replaced with a similar one.
Scanned Images
Scanned images should be supplied as separate files, saved in EPS or PDF Resolution: Scanning resolution is relative to the final Image. When a scan is at actual finished size, the scan image resolution (DPI) should be at least 300dpi.
Colours
Our printers are CMYK mode. Special colours must be clearly indicated and accompanied with appropriate Pantone Reference Numbers or CMYK values.
CD/DVD or USB Stick
Finished files can be accepted on CD/DVD or USB Stick. Files can also be uploaded via ftp (yousendit.com is a free option) or by email to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
Software
Due to the numerous software packages available for artwork creation, we are unable to support them all. Please export your files to an EPS format or PDF or high resolution JPG
