ARTWORK GUIDELINES

ARTWORK FORMAT

• .eps .pdf .svg .ai

  PROVIDE ARTWORK IN A VECTOR-BASED FORMAT

• T

  CONVERT ALL TYPE TO OUTLINES

Before we begin printing stress balls we need to be supplied with the artwork to be printed. Our preferred file type would be vector based artwork, saved as an EPS, AI, PDF or SVG file with any fonts converted to outlines. If artwork cannot be supplied in these formats we can convert artwork files to vector files using a supplied high-quality file such as a jpg or png - however, this may add a delay to delivery whilst the artwork is converted.

If only text is to be printed for example, a web address or a message the default font we use is Calibri - if a specific type-face is required, we would require the font file to be supplied to us.

PRINT COLOURS

• 

  SPECIFY COLOURS USING THE
  PANTONE® COLOUR SYSTEM

To ensure print colours match brand guielines and are to customers satisfaction we use the proprietary and industry known Pantone Colour System. It is helpful to receive pantone references for print colours to make certain colours match - these should be available in your brand guidelines document, from your marketing department (or agency). There is also a helpful tool on the official Pantone website where it's possible to convert RGB, CMYK and HEX colour codes to coated pantone references. Our team are always at hand to help you find a similar match and to provide suggestions.

PRINT SIZES/AREAS

• 

  THE PRINT AREA IS DEPENDENT ON THE SHAPE YOU CHOOSE
  DETAILS ARE ON EACH PRODUCT PAGE

All stress balls have different sized print positions and printable areas which can be found on each product page, under the product specification section. Some stress balls can be printed on just one side, others two sides or on a shape like the cube stress ball it's possible to print on all six sides!

Please note the print sizes shown are for a pad print, if a different print method is required the print area may be smaller.
