Notes for Custom Pattern Uploads
When uploading custom patterns for laser engraving or printing, please review the following guidelines to ensure quality and accuracy:
1. File Format & Resolution
- Required Formats: Upload vector files (.svg, .ai, .eps) for scalable designs, or high-resolution raster files (.png, .jpg) with 300 DPI minimum.
- Vector files are preferred for sharp, resizeable details (e.g., logos, text).
- Raster files must be free of pixelation; avoid low-quality screenshots or compressed images.
- Avoid: .docx, .pdf (unless vector-based), or low-resolution files (e.g., <100 DPI).
2. Design Clarity & Complexity
- Simplify for Engraving:
- Fine lines (<0.5mm) or intricate details may not render clearly on small surfaces or certain materials (e.g., wood, acrylic).
- Avoid overly dense patterns; test for legibility in a preview.
- Color Considerations:
- Laser engraving is typically monochrome (e.g., dark marks on light materials). Specify if you need grayscale shading or depth variations.
3. Material & Size Compatibility
- Specify Material: Indicate the product material (e.g., metal, wood, glass) and thickness to help us adjust laser settings or printing techniques.
- Size & Placement:
- Provide the desired dimensions (width x height) and placement area (e.g., "fit within a 3x3 inch circle on the product’s surface").
4. Legal & Copyright Compliance
- Ensure the pattern does not infringe on copyrights, trademarks, or intellectual property rights.
- For logos, characters, or licensed designs, you are solely responsible for ensuring proper authorization. We will not be liable for any legal issues arising from unauthorized designs.
- We reserve the right to reject designs with offensive, illegal, or plagiarized content.
5. Proofing & Revisions
- Preview Process: You will get the preview image once you finish the custom design on our website, and we will send you a order confirmation Email in 24 hours.
- Revisions: Notify us of any adjustments (e.g., scaling, color changes, detail fixes) before production. Final approval is required to proceed. View more details.
