Work Art Requirements and guidelines for submitting your artwork and everything else involved with artwork in our ordering processes.

We understand that the preparation of the design process can be often technical and sometimes even frustrating. To make this process nice and smooth for everyone, please read carefully the following instructions.

Art file formats accepted

We can accept logos and plate designs in almost any format, but if the plate has been designed using a vector based program it is always best to prevent rasterising the design. As such, our preferred file formats are listed below:

What type of image format can you upload onto your plate when designing a plate on-line? .png 1 MB max (recommended ) .gif - 1 MB max .jpg 1 MB max .jpeg 1 MB max

In addition, You can upload a HIGH QUALITY ARTWORK in your Account in My file section (please remember to mention it as a comment while placing your order). .pdf .ai (recommended) .eps .cdr

Please note:

Pens International offer a complimentary design fee and 1st revision for any artwork suppied with Quotes or Orders. Any further revision requested after the 1st revision will, at the customers approval, incurr a minimum design fee of $88AUD (Incl GST) per hour.

If your artwork/logo requires clean-up/conversion or further enhancement then Pens International will, at the customers approval, charge a design fee of $88AUD (Incl GST) per hour. The time frame of delivery might increase depending on the work required to finalise the artwork prior to production.

Fonts

We have a vast library of thousands of fonts on our system. But you might want to check with us when submitting your order if your design uses a rare or obscure font. If it is not subject to any licensing then why not attach the font with your artwork and we will add it to our collection.
If you supply us with a particular font and point size we can replicate this. however, make sure that when you design your own plate it is created actual size (within our cut line templates); otherwise point sizes will be meaningless.
