The Process
Our Screen Printing Process
For over 25 years, we have been serving the Wilmington area
with our high-quality custom embroidery and screen printing services. We take pride in providing 100 percent satisfaction to our loyal customers. Whether you bring us a blend of polyester or cotton, we will make sure your screen printing project is suitable to showcase your team or business.
If you don’t want to bring in your own materials to be screen printed or embroidered, Creative Ads
has a catalog available for you to browse through. If the project you had in mind is smaller, feel free to select materials and apparel from our in-store selection. No matter the material or style, we have worked on the type
Art Work Formats Recommended
At Creative Ads, we accept art work and images in multiple formats. Keep in mind, however, that we apply each color separately. The more colors and complexity that go into your art, the higher the price will be per shirt.
Acceptable art work includes the following formats:
CorelDRAW (Corel)
- Text must be converted to curves. Artwork must be “line art” with no embedded bitmaps.
Encapsulated Post Script (EPS)
- This format must be created as line art and the fonts need to be converted to curves.
Adobe Illustrator (AI)
- Text must be converted to outlines and there can’t be embedded bitmaps.
Portable Document Files (PDF)
- Text needs to be converted to curves and free of bitmaps.
*Even if you provide us artwork in one of these formats, there is no guarantee it will be usable. If the quality is too low, or there is another unforeseen issue with the file and it requires work, you will be charged an art fee.
Formats We Cannot Accept
- Scanned images
- Word documents
- Copyrighted images that you don’t have permission for
- File types .jpg, .gif, .tiff, .bmp, .doc
