Artwork Information for CE Shoppes Orders

Essential Artwork Formats and Specifications: To ensure the highest quality of your branded items, we require all artwork to be vector-based. The preferred formats are:

Adobe Illustrator: Save your artwork as an EPS file. Please create outlines for all images and convert all text to outlines. Any placed or imported images should be sent as separate files, adhering to the EPS/TIFF file requirements.

Corel Draw: Convert all text to curves for optimal results.

EPS File Requirements: For 4-color process printing, we need a resolution of 300 dpi at the actual size or larger, and for high-quality results, 1200 dpi at actual size or larger is preferred.

Spot PMS Colors vs. CMYK 4 Color Process: Indicate clearly if your artwork is built in Spot PMS Colors or if you prefer CMYK 4 color process printing.

Don't Have Vector Artwork? Here’s What to Do: If your artwork is not in a .eps vectored format and wasn't created in basic graphic programs like MS Word or Canva, we recommend reaching out to your company's marketing/graphics department or the printer handling your business cards/letterheads. They often have a vectored format of your artwork and can email it to you.

For artwork created by you or available only in non-vector formats like JPEGs, we offer a conversion service. Our external graphic department can transform your art into a vectored format within 24 hours for a $35 fee. Please inform your customer service representative if you require this service, and note that this will add 2 business days to your item's production timeline.

Understanding Vector .eps Format: For a detailed explanation of what a vectored .eps format file is and why it’s crucial for your order, please visit: Vector Artwork Information.

Consistency Across Products: This format standard applies to all promotional, corporate, and food gifts across our factory lines. If you don’t have a vectored version of your artwork, our external service can convert your logo for a $35.00 fee per logo. More intricate logos may require a custom quote based on an hourly rate. You’ll also receive the commercial vectored version of your art for future projects.

The Impact of Artwork on Your Order: Submitting artwork in the correct format is essential. An order is incomplete and won’t be processed until we have your artwork in the right format. Typically, production doesn't start until 5-7 business days after you approve a paper proof. The initial ship date provided may change based on the receipt of proper vectored artwork. Remember, production time only begins once we have a complete order, including correctly formatted artwork.
