Artwork guidelines and best practices
Launch accepts several artwork file types that can be used across your employee store products. For the best product mockups and decoration results, we strongly recommend uploading high-resolution artwork with a transparent background whenever possible.
Using clean, high-quality artwork helps improve how logos appear across apparel, drinkware, bags, hats, and promotional products.
Supported File Types
Launch currently accepts the following logo file formats:
- PNG
- JPG
- JPEG
- SVG
Uploaded logos can then be assigned to products throughout your store during product customization.
Recommended Artwork Format
For the best results, we strongly recommend:
- High-resolution artwork
- Transparent background files
- Clean, simplified logo variations when needed
Transparent PNG and SVG files typically provide the cleanest appearance across product mockups and branded merchandise.
PNG vs JPG vs SVG
PNG
Best for:
- Transparent backgrounds
- Product mockups
- Most general logo uploads
PNG files are the most commonly used logo format inside Launch.
JPG / JPEG
Best for:
- Simple artwork previews
- Non-transparent artwork
JPG files do not support transparent backgrounds and may appear with white background boxes depending on the logo artwork.
SVG
Best for:
- Sharp scaling across sizes
- High-quality vector artwork
- Cleaner logo rendering
SVG files maintain clarity when resized and are ideal for crisp branding across products and storefront visuals.
Why Artwork Quality Matters
Low-quality artwork can affect:
- Product mockups
- Logo clarity
- Small logo placements
- Overall store presentation
Blurry, pixelated, or low-resolution logos may not appear optimal across your products.
For the best employee experience, we recommend uploading the highest-quality artwork available.
