Artwork

Our art department consists of qualified Graphics Artists with a good sense of contemporary design. They want to create unique awards that stand out in the crowd. We pride ourselves on our contemporary graphic design work as a point of difference that makes Premier Awards the leading Awards and Recognition Company that it is. We provide graphic typesetting as part of our service to you.

You can, of course, provide finished artwork if you prefer. Please see the section below regarding supplied artwork

What type of logo files do I need to provide?

Please provide logos in EPS, AI, CDR or PDF files, preferably in Vector file format.

Other files such as Jpg, Bmp or Tif are also acceptable but may not provide you with as good reproduction and may lead to art charges. Low-resolution Images such as web images, business card or clothing embroidery images will be very poor quality and are likely to result in additional charges to re-draw.

Marketing and advertising departments in your company or your organisation's print or Sign Company will have the correct type of file that we need to get you the very best results.

What is the difference between a Vector File and a Raster File

Unlike JPEGs, TIFs, GIFs, and BMP (Raster) images, vector graphics are not made up of a grid of pixels. Instead, vector graphics are comprised of points, curves, and angles. A line drawing if you like. Vector files can be modified such as changing individual colours were as Raster file cannot be changed.

Because vector-based images are not made up of a specific number of dots, they can be scaled to a larger size and not lose any image quality. If you blow up a raster graphic, such as a jpeg it will look blocky, or "pixelated." When you blow up a vector graphic, the edges of each object within the graphic stay smooth and clean. This makes vector graphics ideal for logos, which can be small enough to appear on a business card but can also be scaled up to Honour Board Size.

Common types of vector graphics include Adobe Illustrator (AI), CorelDraw files and EPS files.

How should I provide the recipient names and detail?

We prefer this information to be sent to us in Excel or Word format so we can directly import the information to your art proof. These files can be uploaded at the time of check out or enquiry or you can email them later. If you do send them later, please tell us when we can expect them so we can schedule it in. Oh and yes; scribbled out on the back of an old envelope is acceptable if that's all you have.

When do you need the Names?

Get the detail to us as soon as you can. We can and will get underway prior to receiving the names. Importantly we will order in the stock and get blank manufacture underway while we wait for the detail.

Most standard items require 5 production days after sign off of artwork so make sure you allow enough time to get your order shipped to you in time for your event. If you are pushed for time then please contact us and we will make special arrangements to accommodate your needs.

Will you provide proofs before production?

We certainly will. Unless it’s a minor engraving plate or sports trophy engraving we provide full professional proofing for your approval. We won't start manufacture until you are happy with the layout. All Corporate awards, Honour Boards, plaques etc. are approved by you before manufacture.

When will I see my art proofs?

We usually send art proofs out the day after we receive all of your details. When extremely busy this may take two days but we are always mindful of your deadline. We never miss deadlines!

Once you receive the art proof please check it thoroughly and send back with comments or sign off to proceed to manufacture. Once you have signed off we will take the number of production days that is noted on the product page unless it is a huge order or you have made prior arrangements with us.

Colour

Can Colour be included in our design?

Certainly. We use the highest tech engraving, colour fill, and printing processes, as well as state of the art full-colour Pantone (PMS) and CMYK matching printing systems.

Can you match PMS Colours?

Yes, we can. In any of our colour processes, we can create a close match to you PMS colour requirement. There is a small colour matching set up charge involved when colour matching.

What is PMS colour matching?

Pantone Colour Matching is a global colour matching standard used by the printing industry to recognize and reference colour. Many organizations' corporate colours are a specific PMS number and your marketing department/agency will likely be able to provide this detail to you.

How do I find out what my logos proper colour is?

Your marketing department is the first place to try. Also, printing companies that work with your organisation usually can tell you what your PMS or CMYK colour is.

Is there a limit to how much engraving or printing we can put on each item?

No, You can fit as much as you need to on the item and we can design to ensure it works. The prices or Corporate Awards and Plaques is based on one logo and 8 lines of text. The price for Sports Trophy standard style engraving plates is based on up to 4 lines of text.

What are acrylic colour options available for custom awards?

Please see acrylic colour options HERE.

What’s a Vector and Raster file?

OK, so you like the technical stuff eh; alright then. Digital images come in two main formats: Raster and Vector.

A raster file is not a reggae groover; it’s a file that is made up of tiny pixels. Miniature squares to make up the whole image. Common raster files are jpegs, bitmaps, tiff files.

A vector file is made up of lines, dots, and curves and provides a much higher resolution quality to your finished image.

The most important thing to understand is this: If you have a raster file (JPG, BMP etc) you will lose quality if it needs to be made larger to fit your artwork and making this type of file larger reduces the quality just like when you are viewing a digital photo (which is a raster file). If it needs to be smaller there is no quality loss, but loses some quality when made bigger. A Vector file, on the other hand, can be made larger or smaller, to any size, without loss of quality.

Raster Files - Wikipedia

What kind of 3D graphics files can I supply for reproduction

When we are producing a 3D crystal that has three-dimensional images internally laser engraved. We can create the 3D image for you from photographs supplied by you. We need images of all sides of the object to get a good 3d Drawing. If the object is highly complex such as a turbine motor or complicates architectural building we will get the detail as close as possible but cannot guarantee precise exact replication. In most cases, the engraved item will be quite small and some fine detail will be hard to see anyway.

If you can provide a 3D computer file this is the best way of getting exact replication. 3D graphics files should be converted to .dxf files before sending. Files should be no larger than 350MB. If the file is larger than 350MB the file should be broken up into multiple files that can be then opened and re-constructed by our 3D graphics contractors.

If you cannot provide a 3D .dxf file and we are required to draw a complex 3D image for you please allow 2 weeks for the artwork task so we can provide you with art proof and refine to your instruction.

Custom Designs

Our craftsmen can create custom awards for your event and to your requirement. We have many years experience and our skilled craftspeople can work with any material. We can create anything--by working with your designs and ideas, or creating design concepts for you.

Custom made products can take longer to make and are usually more expensive than the standards.

Things we will need to know to provide you with the right solution for your custom requirements:

When are the awards required by?
How many are required?
What area are they to be delivered to?
What are the awards for?
What images/logos are to be used and roughly what text? This helps to get our creative juices flowing.
What kind of budget do you have to work with?

With this information, we can come up with the right customised solution for your requirements. We love making custom awards as we love a good challenge and a creative project to work with.

Here are a few of our favorite things:

Production Time

Each product type has its own production time requirement which is displayed on the product page. We can produce awards in shorter time frames if you need us to in most case so if you need it in a hurry please contact us. Sometimes rush orders incur a surcharge if we have to work back or incur extra shipping costs.

The production time refers to days required to complete the work after you have fully signed off on the artwork. If it’s Monday AM on the day you sign off and production time is 5 days then we will have the awards ready for dispatch on the coming Monday. (weekends are not calculated in production day) Sometimes production times may be more than the time stated on the website (when we are really really busy). We will let you know on the quote if this is the case.

At Premier Awards we are committed to meeting deadlines and understand the importance of awards being delivered in time for a presentation. We understand that sometimes you need it know and we do what has to be done to deliver. If we commit to your order we will meet the deadline.

See here for better information RE Production time for different style awards & promotional products.
