Preferred art is Vector based saved as EPS format. Art should be modeled in the desired spot colors unless product is to be printed in four-color process.
*Color Photoshop files must be saved in CMYK mode. Black and white photographs should be saved in GRAYSCALE mode. Resolution should be 300 dpi at 100% of printing size and saved as EPS, TIFF, PSD or JPEG format. Black and white line art should be saved in BITMAP mode at no less than 600 dpi resolution at 100% of print size and saved as EPS. All photos and links must accompany the files they are used in, no embedded photos please.
PLEASE NOTE:
DO NOT send in Corel Draw (.cdr), Word (.doc), Excel (.xlsx) or Publisher (.pub) files for artwork. These types of files are either non-acceptable artwork formats or they are unreliable when converting to Adobe graphics software and could produce undesirable effects which could delay the production of your order. Please save or export art as Press-Quality PDF. If you submit art as a TIFF or JPEG, please remove the die, margin and guide lines before rasterizing the image. 300 dpi is the minimum recommendation.
