Accepted artwork formats for USB

How we decorate your USBs decides the artwork we need. Full colour printed USBs need print-ready CMYK files. Logos and images on USB shells are scaled to fit and pad printed, screen printed or engraved.

Shell

Logos and images on USB shells

Swivel, metal, wood, plastic and other shells, decorated by pad printing, screen printing or laser engraving.

Send usVector artwork: an AI or EPS fileWe scale it to the available decoration size on your shell.
  • If you don't have an AI or EPS file, a PDF or high resolution image file should be OK.
  • Shell decoration areas are small, so bold logos and simple shapes work best. Fine detail and very small text may not reproduce.
  • Engraving is one colour (the colour of the material underneath), so send a one colour version of your logo.
  • We'll send a proof showing your artwork on the shell before production.
