Artwork Requirements

Supplying us with the correct artwork will expedite your order. If you are sending us completed artwork, please proof it before sending it to us. Corrections and modifications after the proofing stage may incur extra charges. To help avoid these extra charges please send artwork in Line-art form such as Illustrator or FreeHand. Please feel free to contact us with any artwork questions. Below are some specifications to follow if you have artwork already created.

Include:
When sending files to be transferred, please include all fonts used in the document. We have the Adobe font library and the Font Company type library.
