Artwork guide

Our designers can work with various types of files. Follow these simple tips to get the best possible results and avoid additional design costs.

Plastic cards

Getting the best result

The Lotsa Group designers can work with various types of files, but to get the best possible results, and to avoid additional design costs, we ask you to do the following:

Bleed and resolution

  • Artwork with a ‘bleed’ of at least 3mm on all 4 sides, with the font type clearly indicated.
  • For your logos and artwork we need a minimum resolution of 300dpi. Vector graphics are preferred.

Software our designers can work with

  • QuarkXPress 7.0 or lower
  • Adobe Photoshop CS3 or lower (Mac or PC)
  • Adobe Illustrator CS3 or lower (Mac or PC)
  • InDesign CS3 or lower (Mac or PC)
  • Adobe PageMaker 7.0 or lower
  • CorelDRAW 12.0 (PC only)

Quality

Artwork and logos should be large and clear, as low-quality images will produce pixelated and hazy results. Please also note that enlarging the original image will cause loss in quality. We advise you not to use pictures of standard images (.jpg, .jpeg, .pict, .gif, etc.). In that case we can’t guarantee the quality of the result.

Another method?

Should your preferred method not be listed, please contact the sales department (sales@thelotsagroup.com).
