What are Galink Ltd artwork requirements for vector files?

Galink Ltd artwork requirements specify AI, EPS, or vector PDF format for logos and graphics. Vector files scale without pixelation across towel and bag sizes. Submit via email to info@galinkltd.com with the order reference number.

Can I use Pantone (PMS) colors for dye-sublimation?

Pantone (PMS) is supported on screen print and embroidery. Dye-sublimation approximates Pantone in CMYK but does not match it exactly. For brand-critical color matching, screen print with PMS spot colors is recommended.

How do I handle fonts in my artwork file?

Convert all text to outlines (paths) in AI or EPS, or supply the original font files (.ttf, .otf) embedded. Font conversion to outlines eliminates substitution risk on production machines. If you cannot outline, attach the font files to your submission email.

Artwork Requirements — Printing Guidelines

Q: What is the minimum DPI for raster artwork?

The minimum raster resolution is 300 DPI at the final print size. Files below 300 DPI may blur or band when enlarged for production. Submit the highest resolution available; our design team verifies before proofing.

Q: How long does artwork proofing take?

Digital proof turnaround is within 24 hours of file receipt. Approval of the digital proof locks the artwork for sample and production. Rush proofing is available on request.

Q: What if my artwork doesn't meet the spec?

Galink Ltd provides free artwork preparation as part of OEM/ODM service. Our design team can convert raster logos to vector, embed missing fonts, or set up bleed and safe area to spec. There is no additional charge for standard artwork preparation.

Complete file spec for OEM/ODM printing — vector AI/EPS/PDF, 300 DPI minimum, CMYK/Pantone, font outlines, 3mm bleed, 5mm safe area. Submit to info@galinkltd.com.

2. Color & Resolution (CMYK / Pantone / 300 DPI)

Brand-critical color matching depends on decoration method — CMYK for process print, Pantone for spot color and embroidery.

CMYK — dye-sublimation and CMYK screen print
Pantone (PMS) — spot-color screen print and embroidery thread match
300 DPI minimum for raster elements at final print size
Dye-sublimation approximates Pantone but does not match exactly

3. Bleed, Safe Area & Print Sizes

Production-ready files include bleed and safe area — critical content stays inside the trim line.

3mm bleed on all edges · 5mm safe area inside trim
Beach towel print area: 75 × 150 cm at 300 DPI
Embroidery logo max: 12 × 12 cm standard (larger on request)
Screen print: 1–6 spot colors per design
Fonts: convert to outlines or embed .ttf/.otf files
