Impact Hop-Up

Artwork Templates

These templates were last updated on 17/04/2018. If you have previously downloaded templates for the Impact Hop-Up before this date, please disregard them and use these latest versions. If old templates are used, this will likely delay any orders.

These templates will help you create your design at the correct size, shape and proportion for the Impact Hop-Up, and are setup at 20% scale of full size.

Shape

• The red line is the bleed line. Artwork must extend to this line. The area inbetween this line and the safe area line must only be used as a quiet area.
• The purple line is the cut line. This is the perimeter of the cut graphic area, before any finishing. The area inbetween this line and the finished line will be used for hems, before any velcro is applied.
• The blue line is the finished line. This is the perimeter of the visible graphic area, after the velcro has been added.
• The green dashed lines are the safe area lines. Important content (text, logos etc.) must be kept within these areas.
• The grey lines are the stitching lines. This is the location of the stitching once the velcro is affixed to the rear of the graphic. This is on a separate layer that can be viewed, if desired.

Layers

• Instructions (locked). Can be turned off or removed before exporting your print-ready file, if desired.
• Shape Overlay (locked). Must only be used as an overlay, and must not contain any design elements. Must be either turned off or removed before exporting your print-ready file.
• Stitching (locked). Can be made visible to show where stitching will be located.
• Guides (locked). Can be made visible to show both stitching and corners of the graphic. Useful if the shape overlays have been removed or turned off.
• Design. Should be used to create and supply your design.

Artwork Requirements

Artwork must be supplied:

• With any fonts outlined
• With any images embedded
• Including the document bleed
• With any template elements (such as lines, boxes and markings) removed
• As either PDF (preferred), AI or EPS format

Please also refer to our full list of artwork requirements.

Considerations

Our thread colours are black or white. Our sewists will choose the most appropriate colour to complement your graphic.

Important content, such as logos and text, should not escape the safe areas or wrap around the corners, as this would result an unsatisfactory appearance.

Currently, the dye-sublimation process does not allow for the use of Pantone colours. Any Pantone colours must either be converted to (or replaced with) CMYK colours before supplying your print-ready file.
