Through the Skillzys® iDIt™ system, clients are able to fully customize 98% of the product lines we offer. In order to do so you will most likely need to get us artwork.
We will try to make this as simple and hassle free as possible.

Quality final products start with quality artwork.
- Make sure you have the OK to use any logo you send us
- Vector artwork is preferred, giving us the most flexibility from a design end as well as the highest quality output. Adobe Illustrator files are best (.ai or .eps)
- We can sometimes work with PDF artwork files if the file was created in a vector program
- High resolution jpegs can work depending on your desired outcome
- Artwork should be saved within the CMYK color space
Note that Skillzys® reserves the right to display on our website and/or use in promotional efforts any card we design or produce for our clients.
Colors
Critical colors to corporate identity should be called out in Pantone Solid Coated colors, along with number values if applicable (ie, Pantone Reflex Blue, Pantone 123 C)
Fonts
Convert to outlines wherever possible. To convert your fonts in Adobe Illustrator, use the following steps:
1. Open File
2. In Your Main Menu Choose Select > All
3. In Your Main Menu Choose Type > Create Outlines
4. In Your Main Menu Choose File > Save As > use the "save as type" drop down menu and select .eps name your file accordingly.
Variable Data
For teams, clubs, camps, tournaments/events, etc. looking for text personalization on our products, we will need this variable data in an MS Excel spreadsheet (or similar format).
Personalization information should be in separate rows (1, 2, 3, 4...), and you can use multiple columns (A, B, C...) if needed to indicate other variables (jersey numbers, age groups, etc).
See the snapshots below.

We suggest using all caps for the best visibility and readability of variable data.
Please double-check all spelling! We print what we get.
If some or all of the above seems like it was written in Chinese, don't worry! Our Skillzys® dZign Team is happy to walk you through the process to help ensure a quality finished piece. Please contact us at idit@skillzys.com for more help or with any questions.
