FAQ

YES! For all artwork, such as logos, art must be 1 color line art (no screens or tints) in a vector format(.EPS or .AI). All elements within these files (such as placed graphics or logos) must also be vector line art. All fonts must be outlined. Vector format files can be created using programs such as Adobe Illustrator and Corel Draw. Please note: JPG, PDF, BMP, GIF, TXT, PNG, Photoshop, Microsoft Word, Publisher, Excel, & Powerpoint files, as well as logos copied directly from a website cannot be properly reproduced & and cannot be used. These formats are usually not compatible with the engraving process, and quality issues such as image distortion can occur. It is important to note that you cannot simply rename a file to have a .AI or .EPS name — this does not convert the file format.

For Color Printing: We prefer color logos to be in vector format for quality purposes, but can frequently use CMYK tiff, eps or jpg files – they must be high resolution files @ no less than 300 dpi at actual size.

If you don’t have the proper logo format, we can still use your logo or artwork. Please send the logo file that you do have —our art department can usually convert the file for a nominal one-time conversion fee (usually $35, however more complicated logos can cost slightly more.) We will contact you before we perform any artwork conversion to confirm the artwork cost.
