How to Prepare Your Artwork

For Custom Heat Transfers!

Art Requirements

Before uploading your artwork, here's some important information you need to know to get the best results.

Our pre-production team will perform a 15-point check on your design to ensure your artwork is ready to print. If there are any questions or concerns, we will send a detailed email with options for getting your artwork adjusted and back on track. If your file passes our checks, it will be sent to production without delay.
1. Save your art file in an accepted file format

  • Recommended file types: PDF, AI, EPS or PSD

  • Accepted file types: PDF, AI, EPS, PSD, JPG, PNG or TIFF

Be sure to save your artwork as 'right-reading', or as it's intended to appear when applied. Do not upload your artwork mirrored.

2. Send your artwork at the exact size that you want it to print.

If you select a 9"x12.75" sheet, but upload an image that is 8"x8", we will print your image at the size you uploaded (8"x8"). You are responsible for confirming your artwork's size. If you need help, we can provide artwork services for an additional fee.

3. Use spot colors in your artwork to ensure accurate colors

Use a Pantone color book for reference. We recommend using the Pantone Solid Coated Bridge CP for best results.

Be sure you save your art as a CMYK file. Do not upload RGB artwork. 

4. Convert all text to outlines

Make sure your fonts are not “live fonts” they should be converted to non-editable vectors.

5. Check your line weights

For spot printing, all lines need to be a minimum weight of 1 pt. All negative spaces need to be a minimum thickness equivalent to 2 pts. Details that fall under this recommended spec may not print consistently or at all.
