Prepare Print-Ready UV Artwork for EVA Foam Floating Pool Game Table (Using DWG CAD File)

Job ID: 40279604

Budget: $30 – $50 USD

I am manufacturing a floating EVA foam pool game table that will have graphics UV printed on the top white foam surface.

The product is constructed from two layers of EVA foam:

• Top layer: White EVA foam (this is the surface that will be UV printed)
• Bottom layer: Blue EVA foam

Important manufacturing detail:

The cup holders and channels are CNC cut through the white foam layer, exposing the blue foam layer underneath.

The blue color visible in the cup holders and channels is NOT printed ink. It is the blue foam layer showing through.

I need a designer to convert the attached design concept into clean, precise vector artwork aligned to the CAD geometry of the product.

This is a production file for manufacturing, not just a visual mockup.

Files I Will Provide

• DWG CAD file containing the exact board geometry
• Reference image of the design concept
• Color references

Design Requirements

Using the provided DWG CAD file, create precise vector artwork aligned with the product geometry, including:

• Octagonal board outline
• Center circular play area
• Four channels
• Four cup holder openings
• Branding elements and text

The artwork must align correctly with all physical features.

Important Manufacturing Rules

• Only the white foam surface will be printed.
• White areas in the design represent unprinted EVA foam.
• Do NOT print white ink.
• Do NOT place printed graphics inside cup holder holes or recessed channels.

The blue seen in those areas comes from the blue EVA foam layer underneath.

Color Specifications
Dark Blue

Pantone 293 C
HEX #003DA5

Used for:
• Large circular ring

Light Blue

Pantone 299 C
HEX #00A3E0

Used for:
• Center circle
• Text
• Accent graphics

White Areas

White areas represent natural white EVA foam and should be left unprinted (no ink).

Artwork Requirements

• Vector artwork only (no raster graphics)
• Must align accurately to DWG CAD geometry
• Maintain correct spacing from board edges and cut features
• Use solid color fills only (no complex effects)

Deliverables

Final files must include:

• Adobe Illustrator (.AI) file
• Print-ready PDF
• Fully layered file

Layer structure should look similar to:

Layer 1 – CAD geometry reference (locked)
Layer 2 – Board outline
Layer 3 – Printed graphics
Layer 4 – Text
Layer 5 – Color references


• A simple 3D mockup showing the artwork applied to the board

Ideal Freelancer

Experience with:

• Product graphics
• Industrial product layout
• UV printing preparation
• Adobe Illustrator
• Working with DWG CAD files

Proposal Requirement (Important)

To confirm you have read the project description, please include the following in your proposal:

Confirm that you can import and work with a DWG CAD file

Tell me which software you will use

Briefly explain how you will align the artwork with the cup holders and snack channels

Proposals that do not answer these questions will not be considered.

Please begin your proposal with the word POOLTABLE.

Future Work

If this project goes well, I have additional pool and outdoor product graphics projects.
