Important Information

Your Brand

All branding specifications, including; Brand Booklets, Branding Guides, Style Guides, etc. must be provided if available. This will ensure our Art Department meets your standards and respects your brand's technical styles, identity, and overall feel.

Colours

We use the universal PANTONE® Solid Coated colours when producing prints to give you the closest possible match to your artwork. Please provide your colours in PANTONE® Solid Coated where applicable.

File Standards

Vectors

If using a print-ready vector, please have all text, strokes, and other artwork converted to outlines before sending. This is crucial to preserve the vector's original look when its being received by our artists and printed.

If you did not have a print-ready vector, we will let you know then provide you with a few solutions to get your file prepared for print.

Non-Vector/Raster Images

Photos/images need to be submitted at print quality resolution, which is measured in PPI (Pixels Per Inch) and has a minimum of 300ppi. Images with transparent background are preferred.

If you are unsure of your images resolution, we are happy to take a look. Please keep in mind your images may not be up to our print standards.
