A useful artwork package answers three questions at once: what should the design look like, how large and where should it sit, and what product and order conditions must the finished transfer support?
Choose the approved logo or graphic revision, confirm that you are authorized to use it, and separate reference imagery from the actual production artwork.
Send editable AI, EPS, SVG, or vector PDF artwork when available. If only raster artwork exists, provide the highest-resolution original rather than a screenshot or compressed copy.
Give the required width and height, units, orientation, receiving product, measured garment position, and any placement tolerance the team must review.
Identify required colors, important small details, areas that may be simplified, preferred material references, and whether the design should use a single or mixed visual treatment.
Describe the receiving fabric, stretch, surface, color, coating, application equipment, sample need, inspection requirement, and any care or durability evaluation requested.
Include sample and bulk quantities, destination, target date, packing and labeling needs, and the contact who can approve artwork, sample, and written order terms.
A reviewer should be able to identify the intended artwork revision and measure the requested result. Use this quick screen before the file reaches the quote form.
| Format | Best contribution | Review note |
|---|---|---|
| AI / EPS / SVG | Editable paths and scalable geometry | Package linked elements and identify the approved revision. |
| Vector PDF | Portable dimensioned vector reference | Confirm it contains vector artwork rather than only a placed bitmap. |
| PSD | Layered raster source and visual effects | Retain useful layers and include intended finished dimensions. |
| PNG / WEBP | Transparent or clean visual reference | Supply the original resolution; avoid upscaled screenshots. |
| JPG / JPEG | Photographic or flattened reference | Compression can obscure small edges, spacing, and color detail. |
| TIF / TIFF | High-resolution raster production reference | Crop relevant content and remove unnecessary data if upload size is excessive. |
| ZIP | One organized package of related source files | Use clear filenames and include a brief that identifies the master artwork. |
Editable AI, EPS, SVG, or vector PDF artwork is preferred for clean path and proportion review. The quote form also accepts PDF, PNG, JPG, JPEG, WEBP, PSD, TIF, TIFF, and ZIP files. A raster image should be the highest-resolution original available.
It can be reviewed as a visual reference, but it may not contain enough clean information for an accurate production map. Send the original artwork if possible and be prepared to approve recreated or simplified artwork before sampling.
Outlined text can prevent a missing-font substitution in editable artwork. Keep an editable source copy and identify the typeface or intended letterform appearance, especially where small counters or strokes may need production review.
The current LCHOTFIX quote form accepts one optional artwork upload up to 70 MB. Supported uploads include common vector, image, PDF, PSD, TIFF, and ZIP formats. If a file is rejected, reduce unnecessary embedded data or place the relevant source files in a clearly named ZIP archive.
No. Clean artwork improves review, but the mapped design, stone and color selection, finished dimensions, carrier or patch construction, receiving material, application, and physical result may still require order-specific sampling and approval.
