When sending us art fles in a vector form, please follow these guidelines:

• Set your artwork up in spot colors using the Pantone Solid Coated pallette.

• Delete ALL colors from your swatches that aren’t used in the image. Only spot colors should remain.

• If a backgound is necessary to see the artwork, place it on a layer named “background” and use a CMYK color for it.

• If white is necessary, choose a clearly visible color and name it “white” in your swatch

• Make all strokes at least 1pt. Anything under may not print.

• Do not trap / choke any strokes. We have our own methods of doing this and it varies per job.

• Outline all paths.

• Provide all artwork at 100% print size in separate files, one for the front, one for the back. Name the files clearly. Example: BlueDevils_FRONT.ai

• Provide a low-res jpeg comp in separate files, one for the front, one for the back.
