Artwork, Logos & Proofs

What artwork files should I send?

Vector files such as AI, EPS, SVG and vector PDF files are preferred whenever available because they can be scaled cleanly.

High-resolution PNG and JPG files can also work for many custom products. If you are unsure which file to send, provide the best-quality version of your artwork that you have.

What if my logo is not ready for production?

Some logos may need to be cleaned up, simplified or adjusted depending on the product and decoration method.

Fine lines, very small lettering, low-resolution images and highly detailed artwork may require adjustments before production.

Will I see my design before it is made?

A digital mockup or artwork proof can be requested for many custom orders so you can review the design before production.

This can be particularly helpful for business orders where logo placement, colours and brand consistency are important.

Can you help me decide which customization method to use?

Yes. Different designs work better with different decoration methods.

For example, a simple high-contrast logo may be ideal for laser engraving, while a colourful or detailed design may be better suited to full-colour UV or DTF printing.

If you are unsure, contact 403 Custom Cuts and send us your artwork.
