How do you submit your own design for a (foil) embossing?

Putting your own design on an album makes the product even more unique than it already is.
But some people find it quite tricky to supply the right file, and we’re happy to help you with that!

Below you’ll find three programs you can use for this.

Canva (Pro)
This platform is becoming more and more popular and is one of the easiest design programs. It has countless examples, and you can create the most beautiful designs without any graphic design knowledge.
In Canva Pro, you have the option to save the design as .SVG. That means you save it as a vector file. Note: in the download window, first tick Transparent background, and only then save the file. That’s all you need to do! Super easy.

Don’t have Canva Pro? Then share your project with us at info@yellow-rebel.nl and we’ll save it as an SVG file.

Illustrator
When your design is ready, convert the text to outlines. You can do this easily by selecting the text you want to convert. Go to Type > Create Outlines or use the shortcut Ctrl + Shift + O.
Note: do this for all text elements.
Then save the file as .eps.

Inkscape
This is the free counterpart to Illustrator, which makes it accessible to everyone.
Once you’ve finished the design, save it as Encapsulated PostScript (*.eps).



A pop-up will then appear. It’s important that you choose convert text to paths & rasterize SVG filter effects.



Then click OK, and your file is saved as an EPS with text outlines.

Did you receive a different high-resolution file from your client? We can always see whether we can help you convert it to a vector file. Costs on request.
