Guidelines For Uploading Your Printed Design

The following guidelines will apply to products of all shapes and sizes. Examples shown are for illustrative purposes only.

To prevent order delays caused by artwork discrepancies we suggest:

  • High resolution images / logos
  • High contrast between logo and/or text elements and background
  • Images with large fonts
  • Centering your artwork or photo

How to Upload Your Logo or Image

This is a versatile upload allowing for photos, logos, or artwork. Use this upload as you see fit. 

  1. First, click the "Upload File..." button located under the "ADD LOGO OR IMAGES" heading
  2. Select your artwork file from your computer and click OPEN
  3. Once you’ve uploaded your artwork, your image will appear in the preview layout with an editing toolbar located underneath

File format and dimensions are listed below the quantity box under LOGO / IMAGE GUIDELINES.

NOTE: If your artwork is not of high enough quality or is in the incorrect file format an error message will appear indicating a new file is required.

Part 2: Editing an uploaded image

Once your artwork has uploaded it will fill the entire photo box. To manipulate your image, there are 2 methods available: 

Manual Editing

  1. Click and drag the artwork to change the position
  2. Select the artwork to reveal a border with adjustment handles that can be used to size the image or rotate the image freely.

Image Editing Toolbar

The image editing toolbar contains various image editing functions.

Editing toolbar

  1. Image Selector (where applicable) - This will switch the selected image when there is more than one image on the product. The image that is currently selected is indicated by a black outline box.
  2. Zoom Out - This will make your image smaller
  3. Zoom In - This will make your image larger

If you are unhappy with the preview for a specific product you can clear the image and upload different artwork.

  1. Select the "X" to clear the image
  2. Click the "Upload File..." button again to upload a different image and repeat the editing process above

Logo Image File Types and Quality

 

  • Ensure your image is in .JPEG . JPG or .PNG file format
    • JPEG and JPG files will most commonly include photos that have been taken by a camera, such as a digital camera, a phone, or a scanner
    • PNG files are a common export type for digital design programs, such as Illustrator or browser-based design applications
  • The quality of your finished product is directly affected by the resolution/size of your uploaded image. Please refer to the minimum image size indicated for each product. This is located on the product page under LOGO / IMAGE GUIDELINES
  • We do not recommend screenshots, as the quality will not be as high as original images

NOTE: If your artwork does not meet the minimum requirements, it will not be accepted into the preview layout. You can either select a higher quality image or choose an alternative product with smaller image size requirements.
