There are two types of images, vector images and rastor images. Rastor images are like a photo taken with a camera, when they are zoomed in on they loose clarity and get blurry. So the larger you make them the blurrier they get. A vector image on the other hand is computer generated and is made up of points, lines and curves, this means that no matter how close you zoom in on these images, the lines, curves, and points remain smooth. These images are scalable images and there is not limit to the size they can be made. You see them every day on billbords, shops, lorries etc and you probably don’t even realise it. Most logos are vector files. If you are not sure please send us the file formats that you do have and we will advise you further.
Embroidery Artwork Requirements
Vector format is preferable but once an image is relatively clear we can work with this. You can send us a JPEG or png. file also. Once the logo is received we send it for digitizing – this is the process of converting existing artwork like a company logo or team emblem into a stitch file that an embroidery machine can sew on a garment. There is a cost to this and it is usually €20 plus vat. Larger orders get free digitizing – over €500 nett of Vat.
Print Artwork Requirements
The best format is vector (see above for explanation) which can be created through programmes like Illustrator or Coreldraw. But if you can’t achieve this, send us a high quality file in any of these formats: Ai, eps, svg, cdr, png, pdf. Your logo may have to be redrawn. There is a charge for this, which depends on the complexity of the design. We will advise you of this cost prior to you finalising your order.
