Supplying Your Artwork – Made Simple
At Corporate Essentials, we make sure your logo or advertising message looks sharp and professional on every branded promotional product. Whether you're a business, school, government department, not-for-profit, or local sporting club, we’re here to help you get the best result—quickly and easily.
What We Need From You
To get started, please send us your artwork in one of these high-resolution formats:
- ai (Adobe Illustrator)
- eps (Encapsulated PostScript)
- pdf (Editable vector PDF)
These formats keep your design crisp and scalable, which is essential for printing on branded merchandise like bags, pens, uniforms, and other promotional items.
If you have specific brand colours, let us know. We print using Pantone PMS colours to ensure consistency. If your artwork uses CMYK or RGB colours, our design team will match them to the closest PMS equivalent.
Also include:
- Clear instructions for logo size and placement (if you have preferences)
- Any font files used in your design (or outline the fonts to avoid issues)
Common Mistakes to Avoid
To ensure the best print quality, please avoid:
- Sending low-resolution files like JPEGs or PNGs (unless for reference only)
- Embedding logos in Word, PowerPoint, or Excel documents
- Missing fonts or unclear colour instructions
