Artwork Recommendations
For optimal imprinting of your logo artwork on promotional products, vectorized artwork is required. For some imprinted items, rasterized artwork may be suitable.
- Vector-based drawing programs, such as Adobe Illustrator or CorelDRAW, are used for scalable designs with smooth lines and sweeping curves, and allow for easy color changes. Vectorized logo artwork, saved as pdf and eps files, are the most widely acceptable for imprinting promotional products. Vector art is preferred because the artwork can be resized without the loss of detail, when compared to Raster art.
- Raster-based image creation programs, such as Adobe Photoshop or Corel PaintShop Pro, are often used for full color images with a greater depth of color and rich detail as in photos and robust graphic designs. Rasterized artwork is usable for imprinting certain items, if the resolution is set to 300 dpi or higher. Raster art is often used for computer graphics and common file extensions are tif, gif, jpg, png, bmp.
