Artwork Guidelines

Make sure your artwork prints sharp.

Use these specs when you are sending print-ready artwork. If you are not sure your file is ready, place the order anyway. We review every file and send a proof before anything prints.

Short Version

Send the best file you have. We will check it before production.

If you already have print-ready artwork, use the specs below. If you only have a logo, a Canva export, or a rough file, that is still okay. Place the order, send what you have, and we will tell you what needs to happen before it goes to print.

File Setup

What to send

01

Use vector artwork when possible

AI, PDF, EPS, and SVG files usually print the cleanest because they scale without getting blurry.

02

Keep raster files high resolution

PNG, JPG, TIFF, and PSD can work when they are built at full print size. Use 96 DPI minimum. 200 DPI or higher is better.

03

Match the ordered size

Artwork should be created at the same size as the product panel or template. Do not scale a tiny logo up and hope for the best.

04

Outline fonts

If your design uses custom fonts, convert them to outlines or curves so the layout stays exactly how you built it.

Templates

10 x 10 canopy artwork templates

Use the template that matches your frame style. Keep important logos and text inside the safe area. Leave the template guides in place while you design.

Standard tent top

10 x 10 40mm Hex Tent Top

Best starting point for most Bigfoot 10 x 10 canopy artwork.

PDF AI
Heavy-duty frame

10 x 10 50mm Hex Tent Top

Use this version when your order is built around the 50mm hex frame.

AI

Before You Send

Quick checklist

  • File is AI, PDF, EPS, SVG, PSD, PNG, TIFF, or JPG.
  • Artwork is built at full print size or placed in the template.
  • Logos and important text stay inside the safe area.
  • Fonts are outlined or included as vector shapes.
  • Colors are set up in CMYK when possible.
  • File name uses simple letters and numbers.
  • File is under 200 MB.

Color matching

Printed fabric will not always match a backlit screen perfectly. CMYK files give us the best starting point. If you have exact brand colors or Pantone references, include them when you send artwork and we will get as close as the print process allows.

After Checkout

What happens after you order

  1. 1

    You place the order

    No artwork upload is required to check out. Pick the artwork option that fits where you are.

  2. 2

    We review your file

    Our team checks size, resolution, safe area, fonts, and print readiness before it moves forward.

  3. 3

    You approve the proof

    We send a digital proof so you can see the layout. Nothing prints until you approve it.

Not Sure?

Send what you have.

We would rather help clean up the file than let bad artwork turn into a bad print.
