For Hyland Sportswear to produce your specific designs to the highest quality, we do require the artwork to be sent to us in the best format available.  The better the format the more specific we can produce the final product and below we have listed the best files for us to use

Our Preferred File Formats (Must be vector based files):

•  Corel Draw v12 or lower (CDR files)

•  Vector EPS

•  Adobe Illustrator AI files

• PDF files
Fonts must be converted to outlines.
Placed images need to be either embedded or supplied as separate files

Suitable formats subject to resolution:

•  TIF, GIF, JPEG, BMP and PSD files

Resolution requirements:

•  BMP: 1200dpi (optimal)

•  TIF, GIF, JPEG, PSD files: Minimum resolution 300dpi

If a new logo, design, modification to the existing artwork, or a re-draw is required, our in-house graphic designers can accommodate your requests at a small surcharge.

Vector graphics - are made of individual objects with each object having its own unique properties i.e. colour, fill, outline, shading etc. Vector graphics are resolution independent which allows the graphic artist to resize the image without the graphic getting pixilated edges as is the case with bitmap images. Therefore, the same design can be used in multiple applications where the design requires to be resized without the loss of resolution.

Common vector formats include:

• AI - Adobe Illustrator

•  CDR – CorelDRAW

•  EPS – Encapsulated PostScript

Bitmap graphics - are literally maps of bits. They are commonly used as an on-screen display image with a pixel being the smallest possible size of the graphic. When a bitmap displays a coloured image, such as a rainbow in the sky, there are several shades of gradation in colour and lighting. In this case, each pixel may have 16, 24, or 48 bits of associated information with it. The greater the bit rate, the greater the resolution and the larger the file. Unfortunately, bitmaps don't rescale well. So when used in a graphic design program and the artist tries to increase the image size, the bitmap becomes blocked and blurred and if reduced, it loses clarity.

Common bitmap formats include:

•  BMP

•  GIF

•  JPEG, JPG

•  PNG

•  PICT (Macintosh)

•  PCX

•  TIFF

•  PSD (Adobe Photoshop)

Pantone Colours -The Pantone Colour System (PMS) is used Worldwide to effectively communicate colours between clients, retailers, designers and manufacturers. It is used to match thread colours for embroidery and inks for screen printing.
If you know your logo's PMS colours then please provide these.  If not you can refer to the colour chart link below and let us know which PMS colour best matches the colour you are after.
