HOOPSKING CARRIER - ADOBE EDITING KIT

CHOOSE YOUR EDITOR
Adobe Illustrator: File > Open > HoopsKing-Carrier-Illustrator.svg.
This is an editable vector SVG, not a native .ai file. After opening, save
your working copy as .ai if desired. In Layers, expand the imported layer
to find the GUIDES, ARTWORK and BACKGROUND groups. You may move these groups
to separate Illustrator layers if preferred.

Adobe Photoshop: File > Open > HoopsKing-Carrier-Photoshop.psd.
This is a layered RGB PSD with an embedded sRGB profile, 5100 x 1376 pixels
at 300 pixels/inch. Keep the existing canvas size. The guide is one raster
overlay; your own artwork and background remain on separate editable layers.

WORKING SIZE AND PLACEMENT
One wrap piece is 17 inches wide and approximately 4.5858 inches high.
The 300-ppi raster canvas rounds to 5100 x 1376 pixels (4.5867 inches high).
That sub-pixel rounding is intentional. Do not rescale to compensate.
The center long-side safe area is 9 x 3 inches. Its center is 2.4371 inches
from the top of the artboard (about 731 pixels on the PNG canvas).
Center the long-side artwork in this box, between the finished trim edges;
do not center it vertically on the full rectangular artboard.
Each left/right end safe area is 2.75 x 3 inches.
Keep logos and all important lettering within the dashed safe-area boxes.
The two shaded corner bands are for background only.
The solid magenta outline is the trim guide, not artwork to print.
Extend the background to EVERY edge of the rectangular canvas/artboard.
Do not crop to the shaped trim outline or add a 9-up sheet layout.
The printer handles bleed and sheet layout.

MATCHING LOGOS
Create one wrap piece. It repeats on both long sides of the carrier.
Use the SAME logo and size in the left and right end safe areas.
With the repeated wrap, each physical short end shows TWO matching logos,
one on each side of the black handle support. All four end logos match.
All FOUR carriers in the set must have the same artwork.

EDITING
1. Change the BACKGROUND to your team color or add a full-canvas background.
2. Add your logos and artwork inside ARTWORK, below the guide overlay.
   Use original vector logos or sharp high-resolution images; do not stretch.
3. Keep GUIDES visible for placement. Zoom in and check all three safe areas.
4. Before export, HIDE or DELETE the entire GUIDES group/layer. This removes
   every trim line, dashed box, instruction and shaded corner band.
5. Keep the layered/vector working file for future edits.

EXPORT FOR OUR DESIGNER
Photoshop: Export As > PNG, 5100 x 1376 px, 100% scale, transparency OFF,
Convert to sRGB ON. Do not trim or change the canvas.
Illustrator: Export As > PNG, Use Artboards ON, Resolution 300 ppi,
background White (your design background should already fill the artboard).
Confirm the exported PNG is 5100 x 1376 pixels. If Illustrator rounds an
edge by one pixel, use Export for Screens with a width of 5100 px and verify
the height is 1376 px. Do not export a larger outer bounding box.
In either editor, open the finished PNG and verify NO guides, labels, corner
shading, unintended white gaps or transparent edges appear.
Upload the finished PNG through Wrap design in the HoopsKing designer.
Inspect both long sides and both pairs of end logos in the 3D preview.
Do not upload the PSD, .ai working file, ZIP, or guide preview as production art.
