Your artwork guidelines state you only accept vector files. Why is this?

We strive to deliver high quality products to our clients. In order to ensure quality, we only accept vector files, because they produce the highest quality finish when it comes to foil blocking. Vector software uses mathematic equations and geometric primitives (points, lines and shapes) instead of pixels which form raster based images. Because of this, vector art files can be scaled infinitely, without any loss of quality of fidelity, whereas raster (pixel) images become more blurry and pixelated the more they are enlarged. Vector artwork is ideal to manufacture the metal dies/blocks required for foil stamping. Etching foil dies from pixel based files can result in jagged edges and poor quality prints. If you need your artwork to be converted to a vector file, please reach out to us via the "Contact" page on our website and we will estimate the cost to recreate them as vector files.
