The process

Five Steps From Your File to Production-Ready Artwork

  1. Send your artwork Upload the highest-quality source available. Tell us whether you need a faithful redraw, a simplified production version, or a more detailed illustration recreation.
  2. Share the intended use Explain whether the design is for printing, web use, signage, embroidery preparation, cutting, or another application. Include required dimensions, formats, and supplier specifications.
  3. Review and quotation We examine the artwork, ask any necessary questions, then provide the scope, quote, and expected delivery arrangement.
  4. Manual reconstruction Our production process focuses on appropriate paths, shapes, lines, colors, and lettering. Ambiguous or missing source details are clarified where needed.
  5. Proof and final files Review the supplied proof against the agreed scope. After approval and any agreed corrections, receive the final formats described in your order.
