Print Production & Vector Files for Print Shops

This page is for print shops, screen printing bureaus, laser cutting businesses, design studios and graphic designers who need production-ready vector artwork from an outside supplier. We prepare and redraw files to your specification so they run on your machine without a prepress call.

What production-ready actually means

Production-ready vector artwork is not a stylistic description, it is a checklist. Closed contours. No duplicate or overlapping lines. No stray nodes or off-path points. Type converted to outlines where the process requires it. No raster images left inside a vector file. A colour palette that matches the reference. Consistent layer naming. Every one of those is a reason a job stops mid-production, so we handle them before delivery rather than after you find them.

Vector production services for printers

Redraw and repair ╬ô├ç├╢ rebuild artwork supplied by a customer into clean vector files you can run.
Separations ╬ô├ç├╢ artwork split by ink or by machine operation, with spot colours kept as spot colours.
Cut and engrave contours ╬ô├ç├╢ single-colour closed paths with bridge widths checked against your machine and material.
Screen printing preparation ╬ô├ç├╢ stroke weights and detail validated against the print size, with underbase guidance.
Converting to vector ╬ô├ç├╢ raster artwork converted to vector paths for jobs that need to cut, plot or print cleanly.
Prepress cleanup ╬ô├ç├╢ overprint, bleed, trim and colour handling corrected before plates or film are output.

Formats and hand-off

AI, EPS, SVG, PDF, PDF/X, DXF and CDR. Cut paths delivered as closed polylines or splines, matched to what your software imports most reliably. We will work to your naming convention and folder structure so files drop into an existing job without being rebuilt.

Working as an overflow supplier

Many shops use us when a job is larger than the week allows, when a file has been damaged in transit, or when a customer has supplied something unusable and the deadline has not moved. Turnaround is quoted per job. Recurring volume gets a fixed rate card and priority scheduling, and we can hold your preferred conventions on file so repeat work needs no briefing.

Send us the problem file

If you already know what is wrong ╬ô├ç├╢ unclosed paths, a missing font, a bitmap inside a vector wrapper, too much detail for the substrate ╬ô├ç├╢ tell us and we will confirm whether it is fixable before you commit. If you are not sure what is wrong, send the file anyway. Diagnosing first costs nothing and usually prevents a wasted run.

Print Production FAQ

What do you need from us to quote the job?

The file if you have it, plus the process it is for — screen print, laser cut, engrave, vinyl, large format — the material, the finished size and the deadline. If the file is damaged or unusable, send it anyway, because diagnosing first is usually faster than finding out mid-run.

Which formats can you deliver?

AI, EPS, SVG, PDF, PDF/X, DXF and CDR. Cut contours can be delivered as closed polylines or splines depending on what your software imports most reliably.

Can you match our existing file conventions?

Yes. Send an example job that ran cleanly and we will match your layer naming, folder structure and output settings so the files drop straight into your workflow.

Do you handle repeat volume for print shops?

Yes. Recurring volume is quoted on a fixed rate card with priority scheduling, and we hold your conventions on file so repeat work needs no briefing each time.
