How to Submit Your Artwork

If you haven't already done so, please contact us to discuss your requirements.

Artwork should be sent by email if the file size is 20 megabytes or less. Please send to info@mousemats.co.uk.

Please check your artwork carefully before you send it, ensuring formatting is completed and it’s in the correct size. Just follow guidelines below.

Please note that we cannot accept artwork in Microsoft Word, Powerpoint, Publisher or Excel format.

Colours

We can match your colours as required. If you have a Pantone number, let us know, as this will help us with an exact match. If you don't, no problem! Please note the industry standard for pantone matching pvc is +/- 10%, and colours can often not be reproduced on a computer screen.

For screen prints:

• Editable EPS file
• PDF file (with fonts converted to paths/curves)
• Image saved at 100% size or larger
• Pantone references supplied for colours
• Fonts supplied or text saved as curves

Full colour:

• All graphics should be supplied as high resolution CMYK files at a minimum of 300 dpi
• All design components must be supplied and clearly identified. This includes tiff, eps, and pdf files; all printer fonts used in the main file and imported graphics.

Regardless of print method:

• Allow a bleed^* all around the outer edge of the design. The exact size of the bleed to allow will depend on the type of mousemat you're interested in. Please enquire.
• Artwork to be emailed with your order number and company name in the reference line or supplied on CD with same information clearly labelled


• * - a bleed is a small extra region around the outside of the mousemat design area in the background colour of the mousemat and is used to allow for stamping mis-registration during mousemat production.

What if there is an issue with the formatting?

Any artwork in an unsuitable format will need to be resubmitted. If only simple corrections are required, and we have all of the relevant files, fonts etc. then we will do it for you free of charge.
