Artwork and branding

# Which artwork files should I send?

By the Mr Balaclava team · Updated 2026-10-06

Short answer

A vector file of your logo (AI, EPS or PDF) and the Pantone references of your colours are best. If you only have a JPEG or PNG, our design team redraws it as a vector. Send your files by email, or upload them with the Request a quote form when you have a tech pack or reference sheet.

The best starting point is a [vector file](/help/glossary-vector-file/) of your logo in AI, EPS or PDF format, and the [Pantone](/help/glossary-pantone/) references of your colours. Vector files stay sharp at any size, which matters for both embroidery and printing.

## What to send

- Your logo or artwork as a vector file (AI, EPS or PDF)
- The Pantone references of your colours
- How and where you want it applied, for example embroidered on the front or printed inside the neck
- Label and hang tag artwork, if you have it
- A sketch, photo or reference product, if you have one

## Only have a JPEG or PNG?

That is fine. Our design team redraws it as a vector. Logo preparation for embroidery (digitising) is part of our development work; any set-up charge is shown on your quotation.

## For embroidery

Send a vector logo and we convert it into a stitch file. You see the result twice: on the digital mockup at real size, and on your sample, in your hands or on photos and video. Very fine text and colour gradients are hard to embroider; see [Which decoration methods do you offer?](/help/decoration-methods/)

## How to send your files

- **Request a quote form**: in step 2, choose **I already have a tech pack or reference sheet** to upload up to 3 files of 10 MB each (PDF, PNG, JPG, WEBP, GIF, SVG, AI, EPS or ZIP). The other choice, **I am working on the tech pack and need a quote for my idea**, has no upload. Either way, you can reply to the confirmation email to add files.
- **Email** contact@mrbalaclava.com, for example for larger files. If your files are very large, ask us how best to send them.
- **WhatsApp** +92 370 7981102 for quick questions and photos.
- The contact form on our Contact page has no file upload.

- **Website chat**: click **Attach a file** (one file per message, 10 MB; JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP, PDF, AI, EPS, DOCX or XLSX; no SVG or ZIP).

- **Order Builder**: in the **Branding and artwork** step, upload up to 6 files of 25 MB each (PDF, AI, EPS, PNG or JPG). SVG is not accepted there, so save your logo as PDF. You can also choose **I will send my artwork later**. Any set-up charge, such as embroidery digitising, is shown in the builder's price summary.

- **My Account**: while you have an order in production, use **Upload artwork or a file** under Documents or on the order page (up to 25 MB per file). See [Upload and download files in My Account](/help/portal-files/).

Files you send are kept with your request or order, so we can produce and reorder your product (see our [Privacy Policy](/policies/privacy-policy/)).

After we receive your artwork, we prepare a mockup for you to approve. See [What is a mockup and how do I approve it?](/help/mockup-approval/)
