At Slick, we pride ourselves on being able to brand your logo, message or personalised graphic on to just about any product or surface.
However, a graphic designed for full colour printing on a catalogue or for use on a website might not be suitable for reproduction on a 3 dimensional promotional product.
Artwork is considered ready when it can be used for pre-press and printing or embroidery without the need for any modifications that could result in extra charges or, worse, cause a delay to your order.
By following the guidelines below, you can ensure that you’ll get the best possible outcome and maximise the impact of your branded promotional products on your audience.
