Explore essential specifications and tips for submitting the perfect artwork for your embroidered badge.

 



Please take a look at our Artwork Guidelines below. These are suggestions for best practices when submitting artwork to EmbroideryBadge.uk, as well as some information that will be helpful to know and understand during the approval process.

File Format

preferred File Formats

Vector files are preferred for best results as they maintain sharpness and clarity, ideal for intricate embroidery details.

For the highest quality and precision in embroidery, we recommend submitting your artwork in vector file formats such as EPS, PDF or AI.

VECTOR

What is a vector?

Vector is a file format in which a visual graphic can be scaled endlessly without ever losing quality. Files such as JPEG, GIF, TIFF and PNG are pixel based, which means that when you zoom in and out of these files, the quality of the image is compromised.

Here’s our preferred artwork requirements:
All files should be created in Adobe Illustrator CC or lower.
Send files as CMYK.
Flattened layers and text outlined. (If you are not sure how to outline the text in your vector file, check out this handy article here.)
Please have all colours Pantone matched to our solid coated swatch palette. (You can find our solid coated Pantone© palette here.)
