Vector files are mathematically defined images, that are made up of points. Unlike pixel graphics or raster files, vector graphics can be infinitely scaled without affecting the resolution. Vector files are especially important for realising large print products.
You can recognize vector files by their file type. The most common vector file types are:
- AI = short for Adobe Illustrator Example file type: Logo_weiß.ai
- EPS = Encapsulated PostScript is an older vector graphic format. Example file type: Logo_weiß.eps
- PDF = Portable Document Format is a vector format used for exchanging documents. Example file type: Logo_weiß.pdf
- SVG = Scalable Vector Graphics-Format is based on XML and especially suited for web applications. Example file type: Logo_weiß.svg
Attention! Vector files can contain placed pixel files, which means that they don’t contain 100% vectors only.
It is best if you send us all your vector files, so that we can check them.

Our products have different requirements due to technical and production related reasons. Thereby not every file can be used for every product.
Especially for large sized print products and print products with a higher resolution vector files are necessary. For print products in small sizes such as business cards pixel images can also be used. For finishes and engravings we also require vector files to add full-tone colours.
