Use the points below as a guide when you're preparing artwork for a Custom Design Wax Seal Stamp
- Safe area: keep typography and graphic elements at least 2 mm from the edge unless you want to run your design over-the-edge.
- Bleed: add a 1 mm bleed if you're running your design over-the-edge
- Dieline:
- Circle: 18, 24 or 30 mm diameter. Place artwork within a guide circle to indicate placement
- Square 21 x 21 mm. Place artwork within a guide square to indicate placement
- You can supply your artwork larger and we'll resize it for you
- Typography: minimum 6 pt (or about 1.4 mm height) or larger
- Lines/strokes: there's no minimum thickness, you don't need to adjust your artwork to make graphic elements thicker
- Spacing: seperate your design elements as much as possible, keeping spaces/gaps in your design at a minimum of 0.18 mm to avoid engraved areas blending together
- Expand or convert fonts to outlines/shapes: or we won't be able to see your artwork as you do: this does not mean adding an outline/stroke to your text. In Illustrator select your typography and go to Type > Create Outlines or Object > Expand...
- Black and white: don't use colour, shadows, gradients or backgrounds in your artwork
- File type: for best results your design should be in vector format, but if you're uploading a raster image it should be 150-300 DPI minimum. We recommend and prefer .AI, .EPS and .PDF vector files for the best results
A couple of extra notes...
- Don't upload small, pixelated, blurry images or screenshots from your phone: upload the original or best image file
- Don't reverse or flip your artwork: that's our job
Images
Avoid using photos, overly detailed or hand drawn illustrations and coloured images.
Typography
Avoid low-resolution and pixelated images, very small typography and closely spaced graphic elements.
We'll send you an artwork proof for you to check and approve. We won't engrave anything that won't work we'll let you know if there are any problems with your artwork.
