Artwork Requirements for your Graphics or Logos on Decks
Art requirements for Screen Printed Decks:
First, we need your logo sent to us by email saved as a .jpeg for initial visual confirmation.
The initial artwork must be created in Adobe Illustrator, or Corel Draw as a vector file with
the colors separated. NOT created in Photoshop or other programs then saved as an Illustrator
file. Then we need it saved on a CD, or emailed as a Adobe Illustrator or Corel Draw file.
Also code with pantone numbers when possible, so we know exactly what colors you want.
All artwork must be created as a rectangle with dimensions of 32.625”Length X 8.625” Width.
We do not want you to send us a file with the art in the shape of a skateboard. If you need
a template for your reference, email us and we can send you one (The template is created in
Illustrator).
1) Vector file. Created in Illustrator or Corel Draw.
2) Separated colors or layers.
3) You can email files up to 7mb in size, larger files must be sent by mail on CD. Please send the Original file in Illustrator or Corel draw, as well as a jpeg visual so we can confirm that the two match up.

Art requirements for Heat Transferred decks:
Printing of heat transfers is much more flexible in what we will accept for artwork. We will
essentially accept any artwork in digital format as long as it is 300 dpi or more in actual
size. Acceptable art can be a jpeg, Photoshop file, Illustrator file Corel file, PDF, etc.
Just like screen prints, all artwork must be created as a rectangle with dimensions of 32.625”Length X 8.625” Width.
We do not want you to send us a file with the art in the shape of a skateboard. If you need a
template for your reference, email us and we can send you one (The template is created in Illustrator).
Our artist will retrace artwork into the correct format. He charges $35 per hour.
Most artwork takes 1 to 2 hours.
If you have further questions about preparation or formatting of your artwork, please feel free to contact us. We use the most up to date technology and methods of printing decks. The factories have been doing this for 30 years, for hundreds of companies. Your graphics will be printed at the same quality level that you see on the pro brand decks in your skate shop. There is almost nothing we can’t do.
