art (vector based with all text converted to curves/outlines).
If not converted as outline we will print the file as is. We reserve
the right to determine what is camera-ready art. If touch-up,
redrawing, or design is required, an art time charge may apply.
Electronic art is accepted for Mac or Windows and can be submitted
on CD, floppy or Zip disc (100 MB capacity). Send Adobe Illustrator
10 or lower (.ai or .eps), Freehand 8 or lower (fh8 or .eps) or
Corel Draw 9 or lower (.cdr or .eps). In the event you cannot
provide vector based art, we will accept TIFF or JPEG, but only
at the imprint size or larger. Grayscale art should be at least
300dpi and bitmap art should be no less than 900 dpi.
Submitted
artwork will automatically be resized to max size unless otherwise
noted. Requested typestyles will be matched as closely as possible.
Exact match cannot be guaranteed.
All
art submitted is subject to review and possible additional charges.
Instructions
for layout, size, typestyle and location of imprint should be
clearly specified with all orders. All halftones submitted should
be 42.5 dpi at no less than 30% and no more than 70% value. More
importantly, instructions for imprint on one side, two side or

we will then decide either to send order into production or not.
Delays to proof approval may result in a change of the scheduled
ship date. Any art approval signed by you will be your responsibility
when the order is complete. Pay close attention to the layout,
size and all typesetting. A preproduction proof is treated the
same as a speculative sample. Random samples will be shipped UPS
Ground within 48 hrs. We reserve the right to NOT send proofs.

the order even without a proof approval.

charges and setup charges represent cost of photography, screen
production and any and all minor touch ups required for art. One
time screen charge is $39.00 per color per screen.
Due
to the nature of the production process and the variation of ware
shapes and sixes, a registration variance of 1/16" may happen
between imprint colors. This variance is considered acceptable
in the industry.
A
selection of standard colors is listed below by using PMS numbers
for reference only. Colors are approximate when used on white
glazed mugs. They will appear differently when applied on glassware
and on various colored ceramic mugs. When a specific color match
is desired, please include a PMS number or color swatch. Due to
the nature of ceramic colors, an exact color match cannot always
be guaranteed. Some colors can not be matched.

in production. The minimum order for a decal is 36 pieces.

on most items if the same color is used. However, if a wrap around
