Art Instructions

Each of our products requires a high-quality image for your product to turn out looking well. When creating your artwork be very mindful of your edges. The manufacturing process we use means the edges on most of our products will need to have at least a 1/4" bleed. Due to this process, edges are not exact. Due to this, you will want to avoid any text or crucial images near the edges.

We cannot print any trademarked or copyrighted work without permission. This includes company logos, sports teams logos, college logos, artists’ work that we do not feature on our website, etc. Please refrain from uploading anything that contains content that defames or vilifies any person, people, race, religion or religious group and/or is obscene, pornographic, indecent, harassing, threatening, harmful, invasive of privacy or publicity rights, abusive, inflammatory, or otherwise objectionable.

When you upload custom artwork we have representation of that image for verification. This only works if you use a JPG or PNG file as an upload. If you have a PSD or other file ready to go and are confident then you can upload that image and skip using our preview. If you would like to place your order now and send in your artwork later, you may do so by using this "placeholder" image. Just download this image and use it to place your order. You can then upload your actual image later, but please notify us in your order instructions that this is what you intend to do.

THE MAIN RULES

PSD templates are available on this page!
Save your files as PNGs.
Follow our Terms and Conditions
If you’re an artist submitting work for our Artist Program, please label your files with the the product that you made it for and the name of the art. (Example: Classic Mousepad - My Favorite Bear)
If you’re an artist submitting work for our Artist Program, you need to use our templates to format your art to our products. Art submissions that have not been formatted to our products will not be accepted at this time.

Please have a resolution of at least 150 PPI. Any lower resolution than this will result in a blurry and pixelated file, and we will not print these.
Our default process uses 150 DPI, though we can accept and use 300 DPI if provided.
RGB files are required for submission due to industry standards. The image is printed using the CMYK color space. Physical printing uses CMYK (Cyan Magenta Yellow and Key which is Black). CMYK is a narrower color profile than RGB so keep in mind that some of the tones and hues in your image can be a bit muted when printed.
You can purchase our Preview & Editing services and color fix for $15 extra. The editing we offer includes sizing, color correction, collage work, and the addition of text or card zones.
If a product has stitched edging, the stitches will take on the color of your image (with the exception of our Large Extended Mousepads; the stitching for these will always be black).
On each product page there is a button labeled “How to prepare your file.” Select that for more information on your specific product.
DO NOT add 1/4" solid color trim
