Badge Lab Artwork Guide

Creating a memorable badge starts with great artwork. Follow this simple guide to ensure the best results for your Badge Lab product.

1. File Formats:

We accept the following file formats:

• Vector: .ai, .eps, .pdf
• Raster: .png, .jpeg, .tiff (ensure high resolution)

2. Resolution:

For raster images, ensure a minimum resolution of 300dpi to maintain clarity when printed.

3. Colors:

• If specific colors are required, please provide Pantone (PMS) codes.
• Note: There might be slight variations in color due to printing processes.

4. Text:

• All text should be converted to outlines/curves.
• Ensure text size is legible, especially for smaller badge sizes.

5. Design Considerations:

• Allow a small margin (at least 3mm) around your design to prevent any essential details from being too close to the badge edge.
• Consider the badge shape and size when creating your design to ensure it fits and looks proportionate.

6. Submitting Artwork:

• Attach your file(s) and any specific instructions when placing your order.
• If your file size is large, consider using a file-sharing service like Dropbox or WeTransfer and provide the link.

7. Review and Proof:

• Once we receive your artwork, our team will review it. If there are any issues or recommendations, we will get in touch with you.
• We will send a digital proof for your approval before production begins.
