• Print formats

  The print format varies according to the selected product and the maximum printable area is indicated. In some cases it is possible, after technical verification, to increase the printing area.

   

  In the product gallery, next to each article there is the GET A QUOTE button, by clicking on it you have the possibility to make a quote or an order in real time by following the various steps related to the choice of quantity, sizes and colors and printing options.

   

  The system automatically recognizes the item and according to the selected customization technique, it enables or disables the various print formats available for that product.

  The print format selected by default are the smallest available format, the one included in the price.

   

  You can then choose a larger format among those available but remember that this choice will incur a small surcharge based on the quantity and type of item selected.

  The cost update is in real time and can be seen in the cost summary on the right side of each step or directly in the shopping CART.

  If your graphics are smaller than the selected format, there won’t be any price variation.

   

  Example:

   

  If you have chosen to print a short-sleeved T-shirt with 5 colors on the front and you have chosen by default the print size A4 (i.e. 21cm x 29.7cm) the print does not necessarily have to be of this size, but it must be in A4 format (i.e. 21cm x 29.7cm).

  In fact, the graphic/design/logo, can be positioned and proportioned as you like on the article chosen taking into consideration the maximum printing area, which in this case is A4.

  The price will not vary in case your graphic layout is smaller (e.g. print 10 cm x 10 cm heart side or a 5 cm x 27 cm writing, etc.)

   

  In all clothing products the printing formats available are:

   

  - Up to A4 format (21 cm x 29,7 cm)

  - Up to A3 format (29,7 cm x 42 cm)

  CUSTOM FORMAT

   

  This option will be displayed for all products where the print format is not well defined, and, in these cases, you can choose the size together with the graphic designer, according to the article chosen.

   

  A classic example is printing on trousers, shorts, hats and in all gadgets.

  On these items, in fact, the printing areas and the positions can be different and change according to the manufacture (pockets, seams, folds, pattern cut, etc.) or type of object on all the gadgets.

   

  When the custom print format is selected, you will be able to print in the maximum format allowed without involving an additional charge.

   

  Example:

   

  You can print your logo/design/graphics on a trouser in 2 x 2 cm or 20 x 50 cm format with no cost difference. This rule is only applicable for screen printing, flex, flock and digital printing.

   

  For embroidery, even if "custom format" is selected, the maximum default size of the "custom format" is up to 12x12cm. If you want a larger embroidery you should contact our sales department for a custom quote based on the article, the file and the quantity of goods you want to produce.

   

  STANDARD FORMAT FOR CLOTHING EMBROIDERY

   

  The system calculates the quote on an embroidery of the standard dimensions of an A7 format (7,5 cm x 10 cm).

  You can still choose other formats in the step “Printing options”.

   

  The available formats are:

   

  - A7 (7, 5 cm x 10 cm)

  - A6 (10 cm x 15 cm)

  - A5 (15 cm x 20 cm)

  - A4 (21 cm x 29,7 cm)

   

  Depending on the size of the embroidery, our system will automatically calculate the cost.

   

  STANDARD FORMAT FOR GADGETS EMBROIDERY

   

  The system calculates the quote on a standard A7 format (7, 5 cm x 10 cm) embroidery and the quantity of colors to be reproduced does not affect the price calculation (max. 12 colors).

  In gadget embroidery, our system does not offer the possibility to calculate the supplement for a higher format.

• Format of accepted files

  Files related to graphics should be provided in one of the following vector formats: AI, EPS, CDR or PDF.

   

  A vector file of the design/image/logo to be printed is always necessary, unless it is a 4-color or grayscale print where a simple high-resolution JPG - PSD or TIFF image will be enough.

   

  If your design/logo/graphics does not have a good resolution because it is provided in JPG or in PNG or if you do not have the possibility to provide a vector file, the graphic designer that follows your order will provide for a free reconstruction.

  In case the logo/design/graphics are very complex the reconstruction service may have additional costs.

   

  The graphic designer will contact you in this case to communicate the amount of the supplement for the reconstruction in vector file, only after your approval we will proceed with your graphics.

   

  The vector file is essential for screen printing and serves most importantly to guarantee an excellent result in the printing process.

• Vector files

  In vector graphics, an image is described through a set of dots, lines, curves, and polygons which colors and even shades can be attributed.

   

  It is radically different from raster graphics because in raster graphics the images are described as a grid of appropriately colored pixels.

   

  The main advantages of vector graphics compared to raster graphics are as follows:

   

  - possibility to express data in a format that occupies less space than the equivalent raster

  - possibility to enlarge the image arbitrarily, without a loss of resolution of the image itself

   

  In screen printing a vector file is necessary to allow an exact separation of colors for the production of films that will be used after the processing of the screen printing frames. 

   

  Small writings, traits, fills, etc. are much sharper and without aliasing effect.

  If the file has been provided in low resolution, the graphic designer that follows your order will provide for a free vector reconstruction.

   

  If the logo/design/graphics are very complex the reconstruction service may have additional costs.

   

  The graphic designer will contact you in this case to communicate the amount of the supplement for the reconstruction in vector file, only after your approval we will proceed with your graphics.

• Print Area

  The maximum print area is the maximum total surface area that the substrate has available for printing.

   Not to be confused with the concept of print format, this instead refers to the print size of the graphic/design/logo.

  The size of this area is not defined because it varies according to the type of product chosen.

   

  To be able to verify the print area correctly, four factors must always be taken into consideration:

   

  - presence of seams, pockets or finishes that create thickness

  - material composition (e.g. cotton, polyester, nylon, etc.)

  - evaluation of the logo/design to be reproduced

  - type of product

   

  Based on the analysis of these elements we evaluate the positioning of your graphics and the maximum size that this can occupy within the space available.

  We remind you that after the confirmation of your order, you will be assigned a graphic designer that will follow your order and will make a graphic draft according to your indications.

   

  Therefore, these measurements will be considered by the graphics department to find the best solution according to your needs.

• Print color change

  If, according to the color of the chosen article, your logo/design/graphics must change color completely or partially, to be more visible or more pleasant, it is necessary to adopt one or more "color changes".

   

  Example:

   

  Let's assume you have to print the Pubblicarrello.com logo with red brackets and white writing on both black and white sweatshirts, it will be necessary to use at least one-color change.

   

  In this case, on black sweatshirts the logo will be perfectly visible, while on white sweatshirts we will have to opt for a color change. We could print the words Pubblicarrello.com in black instead of white to make the logo visible.

  If our choice was also to buy some red sweatshirts, in this case the color changes would be 2, because also the square brackets of the pubblicarrelo.com logo would not be visible and therefore we will need to print them with another color of your choice.

  Please note that every color change will incur a small supplement that is calculated in real time on individual product according to the item and the quantity selected.

   

  You can select the color change at the step "Print Options" during the GET A QUOTE process.

   

  We remind you however that you can always add one or more color changes even after you have placed your order. You will be required to pay the supplement directly to the graphic designer that follows your order.

• Special colors

  In step “Printing options” you can select a special processing or color.

   

  Selection is not mandatory if you want to print your logo in standard colors (ex. white, red, black, blue, green, yellow, gray, etc.)
