Vector files are recommended because it captures spot colors perfectly resulting in producing same colors provided in the original file. Also, vector files are scalable without pixelating to any resolution. Often qurak files are converted into a vector program for this particular reason.

The higher the resolution, the better the output. We strongly recommend using a vector images or 300 PPI images. Please note that if you are using vector-based images, make sure that all of the text is converted into the outlines.

Please note that due to thread limitations, very few details may be lost or simplified to achieve the best result depending on the submitted artwork and final sewn out size.
