Custom
Canadia Co. can integrate a custom emblem into any of our flag apparel designs. Artwork for emblem creation is accepted in any file type. However, files must be of sufficient quality to ensure accurate transfer into the production format. We recommend that all vector files be submitted in EPS, AI or PDF formats with all text converted to paths. Raster files must be at least 300 dpi at full printing size. We prefer that all raster files be saved in the PSD, TIF, or PNG format. Provided a file meets these conditions, there is no artwork set-up fee for the conversion of emblem designs to a DST file for production purposes. Files that do not meet these standards may require some set-up cost, depending on their complexity.

Production
Designs will be returned for artwork approval prior to production and are custom quoted based on quantity, complexity, shape, size, stitch count, border and cutting requirements. Emblems are produced with up to eight thread colours with no setup fees, and include a DST file.
-
Other Considerations
- If a design includes text, please specify which font to use.
- Please attach font files for any non-standard windows font that appears in a design with your submission.
- If the specific font style must be matched and no font file is supplied, we will have to manually trace the font. Tracing puts a design into the highest category of expense.
- Designs that involve gradients or colour blending cannot be accurately reproduced and therefore cannot be accepted.
-
Terms of Service
Artwork preparation costs are payable in advance and will be quoted based on requirements as indicated above. Pricing is provided as a general guideline and is more accurately determined on a case by case basis. Once determined, pricing includes one revision with each subsequent revision subject to a $20 charge.
