Forward Printing: Art Specifications and File Submission

If you have any questions about your artwork please contact our art department.

ACCEPTED FILE FORMATS

We prefer to receive artwork in the following formats:

adobe illustrator (*.ai)
encapsulated post script (*.eps)
portable document format (*.pdf)

300dpi or more at final print size for the following formats:

adobe photoshop (*.psd) - leave it in layers!
tagged image format (*.tif)

Jpegs are generally not acceptable for quality reproduction work. Microsoft Word, Publisher and PowerPoint are also not acceptable formats. Files that do not meet these specifications are subject to artwork charges after review.

Please leave all artwork in layers, outline or rasterize your fonts, and assign desired pantone colors where able. Use our house colors in your artwork if appropriate.

DESIGN TO FINAL PRINT SIZE

Please submit your art files sized to your intended print size. We recommend that you design artwork at the final size rather than scaling it up as the last step.

MAXIMUM PRINT SIZE (width x height):

Adult unisex garments: 15" x 18"
Fitted women's garments and youth shirts: 11" x 15"
Women's boy-beater tank tops and toddler: 9" x 15"

Sleeve prints: 3.5" x 16"

FILE SUBMISSION

Please upload artwork from our estimate request form, and use a file transfer service like yousendit or contact our art department for FTP info. Name the file so that it can easily be identified as yours. For example, name your file like this: "companyName_designName.pdf".
