Artwork Submissions
In order to better serve our customers, we have established the following guidelines for submitting your artwork. All methods of reproduction require quality, vectorized artwork for accurate results. Please note that an additional design charge will be added if a significant amount of “clean-up” work is required on the source artwork provided.

Acceptable Non-digital Artwork
We can reproduce artwork from a letterhead, business card, or camera ready artwork; however, it will need to be designed from scratch and may not be an exact duplicate of the original. Note that for most printed material, an electronic file with the artwork likely exists, and is acceptable.

Unacceptable Artwork
We cannot accept artwork that has been faxed or photocopied as it will be distorted.

Additional Artwork Guidelines
  • If you do not have any of the above listed software, many imaging programs will export your files as an .ai or .eps file.
  • ESCO is PC based. We will accept Macintosh files and attempt to open them. However, we will not be able guarantee results.
  • Be sure to convert all text to curves and to convert all objects to outlines before exporting your file.
  • We currently have a library of over 800 fonts. If your artwork needs to be reproduced and the name of the desired font or font style is known, please so indicate to avoid possible incorrect font selection.

Digital Print Artwork
Vectorized files in the above formats work best. We will need to know the pms/cymk colors.

In the event that vectorized artwork is not available, we can accept .jpg, .bmp, and .tif formats as well. Be advised that all submitted artwork must be in high resolution. The final resolution at 100% final size must be a minimum of 100 dpi with 300 dpi or higher resolution optimal.
