Artwork Specifications

 

Artwork Submission

You can email artwork to: info@beemak-idl.com. Be sure to include your company name, phone 

Number, and purchase order number. If this is not provided, Beemak-IDL will not be responsible for 

matching up the art with the order.

 

File Formats

The following programs are acceptable: Adobe Illustrator-Current Version and EPS format files sent in 

TIFF.

JPEG or Bitmap cannot be altered – can only be viewed and used "as is".

 

Production Lead Time

Quoted production times may vary and are based on our current schedule at time of order receipt. 

Typically, lead times will be 10 - 15 days from date artwork is approved & signed off on.  An eProof will be emailed to you to sign and return.

 

Vector Artwork Files

Must be saved in the Postscript format and contain no postscript errors, stray points, or colors 

assigned inconsistently to our published requirements. 

 

Note: due to the wide range of native software packages, please check our acceptable file formats to determine the best format for delivery of your vector files.

 

Imprint Areas

There are standard imprint areas (W x H) for each item listed in our catalog. Unless otherwise specified, we will enlarge or reduce your image to fit within these areas.

 

Design Elements

Must meet Beemak-IDL published minimums for line thickness. Failure to do so may compromise the 

final imprint quality. If the vector file contains any linked (placed) raster images, these images 

must meet the published minimums for resolution when rendered at 100% actual imprint size and must be submitted with the original vector file.

 

Raster Artwork Files

All raster elements and art files must be sized to 100% or larger than the actual imprint size.  Raster images must meet or exceed published minimums when rendered at the actual imprint size.  Raster elements must be submitted in the proper color space (RGB or CMYK) as published.

 

Acrobat (PDF) Files

PDF files created from vector files must retain the editing capabilities that were used to create 

them (e.g. Illustrator or Freehand).  PDF files that contain raster or vector elements must meet 

published minimums.  PDF files created from page layout documents should be submitted together with the source documents, fonts and all supporting files.

 

Proofs

No matter what the format or transfer method, artwork should NEVER be submitted without either a 

hard copy proof or the electronic equivalent. Properly prepared PDF files are often suitable as 

proofs. Please allow 24 - 48 business hours for receipt of art proof and order confirmation. A 

signed copy of the art proof signifying approval is required before an order can be released for 

scheduling.  The anticipated ship date will be established and confirmed at this time to you.

 

Fonts

Fonts used in the production of art files should be converted to curves (outlines) prior to 

submission.  If future typesetting will be required, the original font files must be included with 

the artwork file to be used on our platform.
