Knitting is a lower-resolution process compared to printing techniques, which limits the level of intricate detail that can be achieved.

To ensure clarity and legibility, key design elements and lettering should be no smaller than 10mm, as shown in the sample below.

Additionally, circular shapes may become distorted in the final knitted product, so it’s generally recommended to avoid them in the design when possible.

For optimal knitting results, please ensure that the file you submit is a high-resolution or vector EPS or PDF with all fonts converted to outlines (curves or paths).

Vector-based artwork is always preferred 

Images should have a minimum resolution of 300 dpi ( TIF, JPG file).

All colours modes should be converted to CMYK or Pantone depending

Digital artwork will be output as RGB. However, any colors that need to match a specified color need to be called out as a Pantone solid coated number.

File Delivery:
Email (files smaller than 5MB)
For large files use a file sharing service such as WeTransfer or Dropbox
Please ensure share links do not require a login/ password.
We require a JPG of the final artwork to ensure that the final digital output matches your EPS or PDF supplied file.
Send artwork early to avoid production delays

NOTE: Digital proof shall not be considered as the guarantee of colour accuracy.

Vector vs. Bitmap:
Images come in one of two formats: vector or bitmap (raster). Bitmap images are made of pixels, which will lose resolution and blur when scaled, making them unsuitable for clear printing at lower resolutions. In contrast, vector graphics are composed of mathematical paths, making them perfectly scalable without any loss of resolution.

A vector logo can be used on anything from a small business card to a large billboard without losing detail. This is why we prefer vectorised images. Most raster/bitmap images can be vectorized by our graphic designer, although this may result in slight changes to the artwork. The only exception is photographic images, which are printed using a halftone technique (explained further below).

Note: photographs cannot be vectorized.

What is DPI?
DPI stands for “Dots Per Inch,” which refers to the number of dots printed in an image per inch. More dots mean more detail and a clearer image. This resolution makes it easier for our artist to convert your image to vector or print it as is on your product.

Spot Colors:
Spot colors are the most commonly used technique in screen, pad printing and laser etching (engraving), producing clean, crisp edges. Each of these spot colors must be handled individually during the printing process.
Customised Balloons are a good example of spot colour printing process.
