When
supplied artwork does not meet factory's requirements for
black and white camera ready art, an art charge will apply ($25.00
minimum).
Shadowing,
screens, halftones, and very fine or intricate detail cannot be
used for foil-stamping or firebranding. To avoid
delays and extra charges, please read and follow the following
instructions carefully. The cost to clean up artwork, change
or eliminate halftones or shadowing (when possible) is $90.00
per hour, 1/2 hour minimum.
Size
of Artwork: Indicate if supplied artwork is "to size".
If not to size, indicate at what percentage it should be shot
or what the finished size should be (i.e. make 4" wide).
Factory will enlarge or reduce artwork (50% to 200%) at no charge.
When maximum imprint area is requested,
or when percentage is not specified, factory will use its best
judgement to achieve an attractive imprint.
Camera
Ready Artwork: High contrast black and white line art is required
for best reproduction. Type characters or line that are
within 1/16" on finished art will fill in. The smallest type that
can be clearly reproduced is 8 pt. Sans serif, or 12 pt. Serif.
Art Charges:
An art charge of $25.00 applies for paste-up of straight-line
copy to a logo or stock designs pasted up with copy or logo. Revisions
to art will be billed at cost.
Straight
Line Copy: No charge for up to 4 lines, 38 characters per
line including spaces.

every 3 - 5 inches.
