Artwork guide
The cleaner your file, the sharper your engraving. Here is what works best.
Logos
- Best: a vector file (SVG, AI, EPS or PDF).
- Good: a PNG or JPG at least 1,500 pixels wide on a plain background. We can clean it up.
- Avoid: screenshots, tiny images from social media and photos of printed logos.
- One color works best. Very fine lines and tiny text may not engrave clearly.
Setup fees
- Print-ready vector logo: $10 one-time setup.
- Logo that needs cleanup or tracing: $35 one-time setup. Reorders skip it.
- Original design help: quoted before we start, from $20.
Home silhouette photos
- Shoot straight on, in daylight, from far enough back to show the whole roofline.
- Move cars, bins and hoses out of the way if you can. Listing photos work well.
- We draw the silhouette from your photo and send it as a proof.
Recipe cards
- Lay the card flat in even light with no shadows, and photograph it from directly above.
- Fill the frame and keep every edge visible. Stains and creases are fine.
