Print Area:

The maximum print area available on our personalised hockey balls is around 25-35mm, this can vary depending on the logo or image we are printing. Our printing team will always print as big as they can with each individual image, we will contact you before printing if we feel that your image will print too small or if there are any other problems.

The visual which you see onscreen is an accurate representation of how your hockey balls will print. Generally if the image looks small in the customiser then the print will be small, we can always check you logo before you place your order, simply drop us an email and we will advise. We don't offer a visual proof before printing so you will need to check that what you see on screen is correct.

Text:

We can print up to 3 lines of text on your personalised hockey balls in various colours sizes and fonts. Make sure that you check all details in the customiser, including spellings and dates, unfortunately we don't have the time to check order before printing so the visual you see on screen is your chance to double check everything is correct.

Photo:

For best results please upload your photo in jpeg format ideally under 2 Mb, otherwise it could take too long to upload. You will have the option to crop the photo into a circle or square before printing to give you the best printing results. This saves time having to edit your photos or images in Photoshop beforehand. Please check the quality of the photo before you upload it, blurry or out of focus images will print as such, we do not edit or amend images before printing.

Logo requirements

A hi-resolution jpeg image produces the best results. Some logos may appear small if they are wide or tall because the maximum print area is 35mm (see above for printing guidelines).

We are able to print from vector format (ai, eps, pdf file) but often these may not look right in the onscreen visual. If you have any queries send the file over to us and we can confirm if we can use it to print from

Our print team will ensure that we print your design the same or very similar to the design which you approve online.

We do have a crop tool for you to use which is on the cricket ball customiser, which will save you time doing this using other software packages. We are unable to print logos from photographs so please ensure you upload you logo in one of these formats for the best results.

How long will the print last?

The printing on personalised hockey balls is fairly durable but is isn't permanent. The personalised service is a semi-permanent print so will wear during play. Unfortunately we don't offer a permanent solution for smaller personalised orders. .

Where do you print onto the ball?

We print on one position on the ball. Because we print by eye the exact position cannot be guaranteed and may not always be in alignment with any manufacturers branding which is on the balls. We will endeavour to print as large as we can without losing any of the integrity of the logo/photo and in the best position available.

Exact location and orientation of your design cannot be guaranteed as existing manufacturer printing on the ball can be restrictive and varies from ball to ball.

If you have any other technical queries please email us at contact@best4balls.com and we will be happy to help you.
