Choose the logo process for the artwork and order quantity, then judge an actual sample.
Match the print process to the artwork
For full-colour artwork, start by evaluating UV printing; for a single-colour design, also compare a screen-printing quote. A one-colour logo and a photograph with gradients place different demands on the process.
Sample engraving on the proposed material
Laser engraving suits projects that need an etched surface effect. Cast and extruded acrylic engrave differently, and cast acrylic is often preferred for engraving. Ask the supplier to sample the mark on the material proposed for your order.
Review the logo at its actual size
Check the artwork at its intended size. For example, if the finished logo is 100 mm wide, confirm that its fine lines and small lettering are clear at 100 mm. An enlarged screen view cannot replace a check of the physical sample.
