Printing data requirements
How to create the printing data?
For single color prints or engravings, it is best to have your data in black and white and in original size. The maximum printing and engraving sizes can be found on our product information page. For multicolored motifs please indicate the desired colors (HKS or Pantone).
For more information, see our page printing data requirements or the correspondent PDF.
Basically, vectorised data is best to use (such as EPS or PDF). Please make sure to convert the font used into paths.
If you don't have any vectorised data please make sure that your image data has a resolution of 300 dpi (better up to 1200 dpi). So the graphics team can convert your image data into printable data (costs according to expense).
Articles without imprint?
File types for printing?
Which file types can be used?
We work with all common vectorized file formats, such as AI, EPS or PDF. We can also work with other vector data (Corel Draw etc.), but we ask you to only use them »in case of need« though.
You do not have any vectorised print data for your desired motif? On request we will be happy to provide you with an offer for the transformation into a suitable data format.
I do not have printable data. What next?
I cannot create data with the required specifications. What next?
No problem at all! Send us the data you have available. Our graphics team will adapt them for printing.
You have no data at all? This is also no problem. Our graphics team will create a free design for you in no time at all! Please contact us.

What is the MOQ (minimum order quantity) ?
Minimum font size?
What is the minimum font size required?
This always depends on the conditions of the particular font. However, the line thickness of the individual letters must not be smaller than 0.1 mm. We will of course contact you if details in a file provided by you are no longer recognizable. Usually, our graphics team will always provide you with an alternative design suggestion that takes the minimum line thickness into account.
