I have my club /sponsor logo, what type of file do you accept?
We accept the following files:
Bitmap files: .jpg, .png
Vector files: .pdf, .ai, .eps, .svg
Here at DCD Teamwear we endeavour to give you the best print and embroidery results, however, we can only do this if you provide us with the correct images / file types.
What are Bitmap images?
Bitmap images are stored as a tiny series of dots called pixels.
If you are submitting a bitmap file we require a high resolution bitmap file, ideally 300 dpi (dots per inch). The higher the dpi the clearer the image. On your computer screen a 60 dpi image may look clear however when we print it, it may become pixelated. When you enlarge the image on your screen does it pixelate? If so this is a low resolution image.
With a bitmap image if the resolution is low, it does not mean we cannot use it, just that the results will not be as good as an image that is of a higher resolution. Further, it will be difficult to edit the image should you require us to or if we need to i.e. remove backgrounds or shapes.
What are vector images?
Vector images are not based on pixel patterns, but instead use mathematical formulas to draw smooth lines and curves that can be combined to create an image from geometric objects such as circles and polygons.
Vector files allow us edit logos should you require us to or if we need to i.e. remove backgrounds or shapes.
I don’t have artwork / my file is not suitable?
That’s ok, we do offer an art working service where we can create a new club badge / sponsor logo. Please call our sales team who will be able to help. Please be aware that there is a fee of £25 per logo.
Where your file is not suitable i.e. low resolution, not one of the files accepted we can create the correct file for you. Please call our sales team who will be able to help. Please be aware that there is a fee of £10 per logo.
You will be required to approve any artwork created before final files are created. Once approved you will be sent a .jpeg and .pdf version of the artwork. DCD Teamwear Limited will also hold a copy of the original files for the purpose of digitisation and future orders.

Where kits have been embellished it is strongly advised that the kit care guides for printed and embroidered products below are followed to ensure you get the best washing results, and that your kit is kept in good condition.
PRINTED KIT
- Wash inside out at 30°C degrees. DO NOT follow any higher temperature guidelines on the garment label as this as this was before printing.
- Avoid leaving kit folded or bundled together whilst damp or soiled after use (This could damage the print)
- Kits may discolour due to staining by mud, grass, petroleum jelly which may not entirely be removed by washing. Soaking kits in warm water and detergent as soon as possible after use can reduce this discolouration.

- Utilise the pre-wash programme on automatic washing machines.
- DO NOT overload the washing machine
- Wash dark colours separately.
- Rinse thoroughly, hang to dry,
- DO NOT tumble dry printed garments.
- DO NOT iron directly onto the prints. Turn the garment inside out and iron on the reverse side to avoid prints being damaged.
- Do not bleach
- DO NOT use a fabric conditioner.
PRINTED RAIN JACKETS AND WATERPROOF GARMENTS
- Where possible wipe clean any dirt with a damp cloth.
- To wash, turn garment inside out and hand wash at a cold temperature or machine wash on a cold water cycle. DO NOT use detergent or conditioner.
- Do not bleach
- Do not tumble dry
- Do not iron directly onto the prints. Turn the garment inside out and iron on the reverse side to avoid prints being damaged.
- Do not fold damp
EMBROIDERED KIT
Where kit only has embroidery please follow the garment care label for washing.
Where kit has both embroidery and printing please follow the wash care guide above for printed kit.
In addition it is advised:
- Do not iron directly onto the embroidery. Turn the garment inside out and iron on the reverse side to avoid prints being damaged.
