Artwork Guidelines

In House Artwork Design:

At Gazebo World we take artwork design and creation seriously. It is not only our reputation, but yours and your brand. The final printed product must look amazing. Our approach to DTP, artwork creation and design has and will always be based on the quality of the final product.

Our team of In-House Designers are ready and waiting to impress you with advertising agency grade design proofs. Please note that we will need your logo and images in specific formats and resolutions as stated below.

Logo / Artwork Format

Once you have decided on the products you would like to order, you will need to Email your Logo to the relevant salesperson helping you. Your logo MUST be in Vector PDF / High Res PDF Format. This is very important. We cannot use low res, jpeg, pixilated logo’s.

To check if your logo is vector or high res, simply zoom in up close on your PC, if your logo stays 100% crisp and does not pixelate or distort, it is Vector PDF. If it pixelates, or looks unclear, we will not be able to use it. In this case you will be given the option of us Re Drawing your logo from scratch, creating a Vector PDF version. You then own this digital vector logo for use in future products or projects. Your salesperson will quote you prior to us starting this process of redrawing. Rates on logo redrawing are R550 ex vat, per hour.

Corporate colours / Colour matching / Pantone Colours:

If your company has specific colours, ie: PANTONE COLOURS / BRAND IDENTIRY, you will need to supply us with these please. It is of vital importance to make us aware of these PANTONE COLOURS as what you see on your Screen / Phone, is by no means what will be printed on the actual end product.

We cannot take responsibility for colour variations if these PANTONE COLOURS are not given to us. In some instances, we will print small colour swatches or proofs on the actual fabric and supply these to you for sign off / approval. These swatches can be collected from us or we can courier them to you for sign off approval.

Re Sellers artwork guidelines:

All our products have Product Specific Design Templates. These Design Templates can be e mailed to you on request or can be downloaded on our website at: https://www.gazeboworld.co.za/templates/

Final Print Ready Artwork sent to us must be in Vector PDF format, in the product specific design template. Bleed is required as indicated on our design templates; it is standard practice to keep all text at least 100mm from the edges, allowing a safety area. Please make sure you remove the bleed lines and or safe area lines before saving final print files.

Standard Artwork Set Up Fees:

Our standard artwork set up fee ranges between R95 ex vat and R195 ex vat depending on the product. Please note, if we have to fix up artwork a quote will be sent prior to us starting this process.
