Artwork Requirements
Artwork may be submitted in either hard copy or electronic format. All artwork is kept on file. Hard Copy artwork should be crisp, clean, black and white line art. If the art is for a multiple color imprint, please provide registration marks. Providing artwork larger than actual size will allow us to reduce it and will provide a better-finished product. If your art contains shading, it should be submitted at actual size with a 45 line screen. Electronic artwork may be submitted via disk (CD-Rom, floppy) or email. We accept both Macintosh and PC files. Our email address is: service@ids-apparel.com, Art files can also be uploaded using our Upload Art feature.

Please observe the following guidelines:

Please include your company name and purchase order number on all artwork sent.

Choose a file name that relates to the artwork such as the purchase order number.

Always send a hard copy of your art so that we can compare the two and verify that your artwork is not altered in any way when opened.
You may submit a JPEG or PDF file to act as your hard copy. Include it as an attachment along with your art work.
