How to prepare your logo for printing and embroidery
To make your logo look great on a T-shirt, pen or towel, we need the right file. Here you will find out what format to send, what a vector file is and what to do if you do not have one to hand.
Send us your logo, we will be in touchFor printing and embroidery it is best to send the logo in vector format (.ai, .eps, .svg or .pdf with curves) - it can be scaled to any size without loss of quality. If you only have a raster image (PNG, JPG), send it at the highest possible resolution; in most cases we will redraw the logo into curves for you. Along with the logo, send your brand colours (ideally Pantone), where to position it and which product you are interested in.
In what format should I send my logo?
Short answer: vector is best (.ai, .eps, .svg, .pdf with curves). Raster images are used after checking or redrawn. Overview:
| Formát | Vhodnosť | Poznámka |
|---|---|---|
| .ai, .eps | Ideal | Native vector (Adobe Illustrator). The best source file for any technique. |
| .pdf (curves) | Ideal | Vector PDF with text converted to curves. A common and reliable format. |
| .svg | Ideal | Vector for web and print. We check that fonts are converted to curves. |
| .png (high resolution) | After review | Usable for simple printing if the resolution is large enough. May pixelate when enlarged. |
| .jpg, small .png | We will redraw | Raster image with background - we usually redraw the logo into curves before production. |
| Word, screenshot, photo | Not suitable | Please send the original file from your designer instead. If you do not have one, get in touch - we will advise. |
What is a vector file and why do we need it?
A vector is a graphic made from curves instead of dots (pixels). It can therefore be scaled up or down to any size without any loss of sharpness - the logo looks equally crisp on a small pen and on the large back of a T-shirt. A raster image (photo, PNG, JPG) breaks into squares when enlarged, which is why vector format is ideal for printing and embroidery.

Frequently asked questions about logo preparation
Formats, vector files, redrawing and visualisations - all in one place.
Vector format is best: .ai, .eps, .svg or .pdf with curves. A vector can be scaled to any size without loss of quality and is suitable for both printing and embroidery. If you only have a raster image (PNG, JPG), send it at the highest possible resolution.
No problem. Send the best available version of the logo and in most cases we will redraw it into curves ready for production. Minor adjustments and conversions are handled as part of order preparation; for complex redrawing from scratch we will agree the terms with you in advance.
A vector is a graphic made from curves (not dots like a photo), so it can be scaled up or down with no loss of sharpness whatsoever. This means the logo looks equally crisp on a small pen and on the large back of a T-shirt.
