Artwork Guidelines

Preparing artwork for your custom display doesn't need to be complicated. These simple guidelines help us achieve a professional result and keep your project moving.

01 / File Formats

What kind of artwork should you send?

Vector artwork is preferred for logos and graphics because it can be scaled to large display sizes without losing sharpness. But don't worry if you don't have a vector file—we can review what you have.

Preferred: AI, EPS & Vector PDF

These formats are often ideal for logos, lettering, and artwork that needs to be enlarged for tents, flags, and banners. A PDF is only vector if the graphics inside it are vector.

Also Accepted: PSD, TIFF, PNG & JPEG

High-resolution image files may work well, depending on their dimensions and the final print size. Editable, layered files are helpful when adjustments are needed.

Not sure what format you have? Send us your best available file. We'll check whether it's suitable and explain any changes needed.
02 / Image Quality

Sharp artwork starts with the right resolution.

A logo that looks clear on a phone may become blurry when enlarged to a banner or canopy. The resolution needed depends on the product, finished size, and typical viewing distance.

Use Original Files

Whenever possible, send the original design or image rather than a screenshot, thumbnail, or image copied from a website.

Large-Format Printing

Some large-format projects use a guideline around 150 DPI at full print size, but this is not a universal requirement. We'll confirm the appropriate resolution for your specific product.

03 / Fonts & Editable Files

Help us keep your design looking right.

Fonts & Text

If you're supplying finished vector artwork, converting text to outlines can prevent unexpected font substitutions. If text needs editing, please also provide the original editable file and font information when available.

Layers & Linked Images

Layered design files make revisions easier. Include linked images and other required assets so nothing is missing when we open your artwork.

04 / Color

Let's get your brand colors as close as possible.

Colors on screens can look different from printed colors. If you have brand standards, share them with your artwork.

CMYK & Print Files

Many print workflows use CMYK color. We'll confirm the preferred color setup and any file requirements for the product you're ordering.

Pantone & Brand Colors

If your brand uses specific Pantone references, please include them. Exact color matching depends on the material, printing process, and supplier capabilities, so we can discuss expectations before production.

05 / Getting Started

You don't need to be a graphic designer.

Whether you have finished artwork, a logo file, or just a starting idea, we can help you understand the next steps.

  • Send the highest-quality artwork you have available.
  • Tell us which products you're considering.
  • Share any brand colors or design guidelines.
  • Let us know if you need design assistance.

We'll review it before production.

We can identify potential issues with file format, resolution, sizing, or layout and discuss adjustments where needed. Product-specific templates and final production specifications will be confirmed for your order.

Send us what you have. We'll help you determine what's needed.
