Acceptable Vector Art

All fonts should be converted to curves (paths or outlines) 
If Raster elements are part of the artwork: They should be embedded 
They should be provided at actual imprint size 
They should be from 300 DPI or higher source documents at the original size 

PDF (Preferred format) 
EPS Adobe Illustrator – A1 Version CS2 or higher 
CorelDraw – CDR Version 10 or higher

Note: These formats are also acceptable for art that contains both raster/bitmap art and vector art in the same graphics file.

All files must be created in approved professional graphics software. Files saved without vector data or from unapproved software are not considered Production Ready Artwork.

ACCEPTABLE FORMAT FOR RASTER ART (Bitmaps)

PDF at final imprint size 
TIFF at final imprint size 
EPS at final imprint size

The following formats are acceptable for uploads: TIF, .TIFF, .EPS, .AI, .PSD, .BMP, .GIF, .JPG, .PNG, .PDF. Recommended: To reduce file size, please upload in .jpg format. For all other file formats, ensure all layers are flattened.

• .TIF (Tagged Image File) – High-quality graphics format that is often used for storing multi-colored images. Supports layers, multiple pages, raster images, vector images, lossy compression, and lossless compression.
• .TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) – High-quality graphics format that is often used for storing multi-colored images. Supports layers, multiple pages, raster images, vector images, lossy compression, and lossless compression.
• .EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) – PostScript file used primarily in the transfer of images to different operating systems.
• .AI (Adobe Illustrator file) – Vector graphics file that uses paths connected by points.
• .PSD (Photoshop Document) – Image file created by Adobe Photoshop; supports various types of Photoshop image options, including image layers, adjustment layers, etc. We recommend that .PSD files be flattened prior to being uploaded.
• .BMP (Bitmap) – High-quality graphics format which allows it to produce large file sizes and uses image compression algorithms that can decrease file size.
• .GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) – Uses lossless compression that may not degrade the quality of the image. GIFs store image data using indexed color, with a maximum of 256 colors.
• .JPG (Image Compression File) – Compressed image format that uses lossy compression; commonly used for storing realistic photos (digital photos), since it is able to compress substantially with minimal loss in image quality.
• .PNG (Portable Network Graphics) – A bitmapped image format with lossless data compression. Gradients come out smoother and do not have the distortions that may appear in a .JPG. Used mainly for archiving files. Does not support CMYK.
• .PDF (Portable Document Format) – The most preferred file format to be set in pre-press quality. Ideal for viewing on multiple computers, because it preserves the formatting, fonts, and other elements within the document on different computers, as well as when it is printed.
