Vector Art Files are preferred by GVP. They provide the best solution for possible changes down the road. Please include fonts with your artwork files or convert your fonts to outlines.
Bitmap/Raster Art Files may be used for artwork if these conditions are met:
- Resolution at 300 dpi (min)
- 1:1 scale or larger (smaller will not work)
Please contact us for: More Information |
