Artwork Requirements for Custom Metal Crafts & Promotional Gifts

At AQ Pins & Gifts, we understand that precise artwork is the cornerstone of creating exceptional custom metal crafts, promotional gifts, and memorabilia.
To ensure your vision translates seamlessly into high-quality products, please adhere to the following guidelines:

1. File Specifications for Optimal Results
Vector Formats Preferred: Submit artwork in scalable vector formats (e.g., .AI, .EPS, .PDF, or .CDR) to maintain clarity and sharpness, especially for intricate designs.

Raster/Image Files: If using photos or bitmap images, ensure a resolution of 300 DPI or higher to prevent pixelation during printing or etching.

3D Design Support: For fully three-dimensional products (e.g., sculpted metal trophies), provide CNC-compatible files or physical samples to guide precise manufacturing.

2. Design Preparation Guidelines
Text Conversion: Convert all text to outlines/curves to avoid font substitution or distortion, particularly for multilingual or stylized typography.
Color Accuracy: Specify Pantone (PMS) color codes for exact color matching in enamel fills or screen printing.
For multi-color designs, clarify if CMYK or spot colors are required.
Product Dimensions: Include exact measurements (length, width, thickness) in your artwork, especially for semi-cubic or layered metal pieces.

3. Specialized Requirements for Metal Crafts
Material-Specific Adjustments: Indicate preferred metal types (e.g., brass, stainless steel) and finishes (polished, antique, matte) to align with production techniques.
Etching/Engraving Details: Highlight areas requiring deep engraving, laser etching, or color fills to ensure technical feasibility.

4. Quality Assurance & Collaboration
Pre-Production Proof: AQ Pins & Gifts will provide a digital or physical proof for approval, ensuring alignment with your expectations.
Open Communication: Share your timeline, quantity needs, and any unique customization requests early in the process. Our team, with expertise in metal craft and bulk promotional items,
