BACKGROUNDS:

We encourage that artworks contain a Transparent Background (No background), unless it is a full colour image.

 

PANTONE® NOTICE:

Unfortunately we do not print using PANTONE colours, we therefore print a RGB/CMYK equivalent, we do not guarantee a 100% Colour match.

 

ARTWORK SERVICES:

We offer a re-draw service should you require assistance with your artwork, pricing to be confirmed when placing your order or creation of a quote.

 

*JPG format images are only to be supplied if it is a full colour image such as a landscape or photograph, but it is best practice to try and avoid this format for artwork and design purposes, unless agreed upon with your sales consultant.

Additional notes

1. Placing a JPG or PNG into a PDF vector document unfortunately does not make it a vector artwork, the source format is preserved when being uploaded, should you wish to verify the authenticity of the artwork, please zoom in to your artwork at 600% as shown in the example below: 

2. Transparent backgrounds in artwork are identified either by a checkerboard pattern or a background that matches your photoviewer, this can only be found in PNG, PDF (If a vector format), SVG or EPS, unfortunately this is not found in JPG files, the below example demonstrates an artwork with a transparent background:

3. Having your artwork trimmed to the start/end, left/right of your design is beneficial as this will give you the accurate print sizing you need, should the artwork not be trimmed, you will have a misrepresentation of the print size, examples below:
