Artwork guidelines

You do not need to be a designer to order branded merchandise. Send the best logo file you have and our in-house artwork team will prepare a free visual of it on the product. Nothing is printed until you approve it.

Which files to send

  • Best: vector files, such as AI, EPS, PDF or SVG. They print sharply at any size.
  • Good: high-resolution PNG or JPG files, ideally on a transparent or plain background.
  • Still fine: a lower quality image. Send it anyway and we will tell you what is possible.

You can upload up to 5 files of 10 MB each with your quote request, or email them to sales@mannik.co.uk.

Colours

If your brand uses Pantone colours, include the references. Some print methods can match Pantone colours closely. Others, such as laser engraving or embroidery, depend on the material or the thread colours available. We explain the options in your quote.

Print area and position

Each product page shows the print area. Tell us where you would like your logo, and your visual will show its position and size.

Your artwork visual

  1. We prepare a visual of your logo on the product, free of charge.
  2. You check the colours, size, position and spelling.
  3. You approve it or ask for changes.
  4. Production starts once you approve, and the lead time is counted from then.

Questions about artwork guidelines

Is artwork included in the price?

Yes. Print setup and artwork are included in the price per item on your quote, and the visual is free.

Will I see my logo on the product before you print?

Yes. We send a free artwork visual showing your logo on the product, and nothing is printed until you approve it.

What file should I send for my logo?

A vector file (AI, EPS, PDF or SVG) gives the sharpest print. If you only have a JPG or PNG, send it anyway and our artwork team will advise.

Can you match my brand colours?

Send your Pantone references if you have them. We tell you which print methods can match them, and your visual shows the colours we plan to use.

What if I do not have a good logo file?

Send the best version you have. Our artwork team will check it and tell you what is possible before anything is printed.

Not sure what to choose?

Tell us what the merchandise is for, how many you need and when. Arlene or Maxx will reply within 2 hours with ideas and prices.
