Complete instructions are available below. To provide your artwork in another format, please contact SayIT Promotional Products at (719) 495-9830 or email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

How long is my artwork stored?

Your artwork will be stored for one year after its last use.

Can I get a proof of my artwork?

Yes, we offer JPG or TIFF files for your approval upon request. If you would like a copy sent to you via e-mail or fax, please call us at 1-719-495-9830 or email us at Can I get my PMS color matched?

Yes, we provide PMS color-matching when available. If PMS color-matching is not possible on an item, the closest available color will be selected. One of our graphic design experts can help you select imprint colors for the best presentation of your artwork. For embroidery, we will select the embroidery thread color which most closely matches a specified PMS color. Some additional charges may be incurred for a PMS match. Your Customer Service Representative will advise of this upon order confirmation. Please call (719) 495-9830 or email

What are my options for product identification?

Gift items: Imprint colors, imprint options, art requirements, and charges vary by product, so please refer to individual product detail pages for more information.  We offer silk screen printing, pad printing, laser and deep etch engraving as well as debossing and embossing.  Many other imprint methods are available including manufacturing processes which include your logo embedded or molded into your product.

Other identification methods: The most common decoration method for each product has been pre-selected for your convenience. Other decoration methods may be available. For more information on setup costs on screen print, embossing, thermofuse, and other identification methods, please call us at (719) 495-9830 or email us at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

Embroidery: We must create production artwork and an embroidered design on all apparel and head-wear embroidery orders. A set-up charge of $18 per 1,000 threads will be charged for the initial creation of the embroidered design. Embroidery setup charges cannot be refunded or rebated. All embroidery tapes and setups are the property of SayIT Promotional Products and cannot be transferred to another party.1

Artwork File Types and Specifications

 

What are the preferred file types?

The preferred file type for most jobs is a .eps file. These files allow us to accurately manipulate logos and the elements which they are comprised of to re-size without any loss of quality or accuracy.

Vectorised Artwork (.eps, .ai or correl draw files)
These are ideal files for the correct printing and reproduction of your logo. We do what we can to re-illustrate logos when we receive basic files. But it is time consuming task, and if your logo is difficult we have to charge $45 to re-illustrate your logo. The bonus is that we will then give you a copy of the file you've paid for which will come in useful if you ever want to do any printing, signage or design work with your logo.

JPEG(.jpg) Files
jpg files are okay for embroidery, but they have to be re-illustrated for printing and engraving use. A high res .jpg file can also be used for printing digital or offset printing jobs, though it is not a preferred file type.

PDF Files
.pdf files are becoming the industry standard for offset and digital printing. They have only limited use for printing promotional products. A .pdf file is fine for embroidery but we have to re-illustrate a .pdf logo if printing or engraving is required.

Doc Files and Text Files
Microsoft files can be worked with, but they are the least desirable file. If it's simple we may be able to work with it.  A complex logo will need to be re-illustrated to a .eps file.



What is the cost for Artwork and Set-Up?
The setup charges are specific to the product and manufacturer. The exact cost will be included on our website and in any quotes you receive. Whenever artwork has to be re-illustrated there is a $45 charge. When it is necessary to rework or adjust artwork there is a charge of $45 per half hour .
