Choose a design.There is no limit to what you can put on your custom golf balls. A few things to keep in mind, however, are the size of a golf ball, the curves of the ball, and the extra cost for additional colors, lines of text and sides of imprint. It's best to keep your design fairly simple, not only to keep cost down, but to make sure it stands out on the ball. Intricate designs are likely to lose detail when printed onto the golf ball. If you are using a photo, choose one that is close-up, well-lit and doesn't contain too many elements or people.

Tips & Warnings
If you don't have a scanner, use a digital camera to take a photo of your artwork. Make sure you have good natural lighting for this.
Don't try to cram too much on to a small golf ball. Simple designs print much better.
