Customization & Artwork FAQ
Vector files such as AI, EPS, or high-resolution PDFs are ideal. If you’re not sure what you have, send us what you’ve got—we’ll help convert it if needed.
Vector files (like AI, EPS, and some PDFs) are made using mathematical paths instead of pixels. This allows them to be scaled up or down to any size without losing quality, which is essential for printing crisp, clean logos on products of all shapes and sizes.
Raster files (like JPG, PNG, and TIFF) are made of pixels. These work fine for digital screens or small-scale printing, but they can become blurry or pixelated when resized, making them less ideal for high-quality decoration methods like screen printing or embroidery.
At Brandit Marketing Solutions, we prefer vector files because they ensure the highest print quality and allow for precise color matching and scalability across all types of branded merchandise. If you don’t have a vector version of your logo, we can usually recreate it for you.
Pantone Matching System (PMS) colors—often called Pantone colors—are standardized, pre-mixed ink colors used across the printing industry to ensure color consistency. Each PMS color has a unique code, so whether you're printing a logo on apparel, signage, or promotional products, the color comes out the same every time.
This is especially important for maintaining brand consistency. For example, “red” can look different across printers and materials—but PMS 186 C will always be that exact shade of red.
At Brandit Marketing Solutions, we use Pantone colors to match your brand’s exact hues, especially in screen printing, embroidery threads, and pad printing. If you have a brand guide with PMS values, send it our way—we’ll make sure your colors are spot-on.
Yes! Our in-house design team can help you create or clean up artwork to get it ready for production.
Always. We provide digital proofs for every order, and nothing goes to production without your approval.
