🎨 Artwork Information
  • Ensure all colours are outlined and clearly specified in PMS or CMYK depending on the product.
  • Vector files such as .AI, .EPS and editable .PDF are preferred because they keep artwork sharp when resized.
  • If using raster images, make sure they are at least 300 DPI to avoid quality loss in the final product.
  • Extra design specifications such as bleed lines, safe zones or similar requirements can be discussed with your account manager.

Helpful resources: vector artwork setup, Pantone colour planning, and Adobe Illustrator.
