* If your artwork is not a print quality file, our in-house art department can recreate the artwork for you. For example, if the only logo file you have is from your website, we can recreate it in a high quality format suitable for print output. Please send us what you have (even if it doesn't meet the above criteria), as it can serve as a starting point for us to use.
