- Hot Stamp – uses a heated foil process where the imprint of the artwork is the foil color. Imprint colors for hot stamp include metallic, matte, gloss, satin, iridescent, and rainbow foils. This imprint option is great for gloss and matte gift bags, plastic bags, poly mailers, velour jewelry bags, gift & apparel boxes, gourmet boxes, jewelry boxes, ribbon, labels, and our popular kraft shopping bags. Requires vector artwork.
- Ink – PMS color matching is available for this imprint option. Up to 2 colors on some products and is great for paper products such as kraft shopping bags, gift & mailing boxes, packing tape, and labels. Requires vector artwork.
- Digital – Offers full-color imprint. The translucent nature of the ink combined with the color of the product may influence saturation, vibrancy, and overall outcome of the artwork. Digital printing is best on white products, but we can print a darker effect on brown kraft bags. This imprint option is for white or brown kraft shopping bags, but is also available for brown kraft pinstripe boxes. Requires vector artwork or high resolution 300dpi image.
- Screen Print – Is fabric friendly and is perfect for reusable bags made of canvas or burlap, and cloth jewelry bags. Comes in a variety of solid, metallic, and neon colors. Requires vector artwork.
How to Place an Order:
You can order by emailing us, or by calling our custom print specialists at 1-800-547-9727, ext. 4.
If you have a specific deadline, or have concerns about turnaround times, please discuss it with us right away. We are willing to work with you to provide a reasonable lead time. Your next step will be to provide the correct file type for artwork.
Artwork:
We do the proofing for you! Please submit your artwork to our custom print email, preferably in vector format in either .eps, .svg, or .ai. If you don’t have vector artwork, we do accept images such as .jpeg and .png with at least 300dpi, but will need to be rebuilt in order to vectorize. This will increase proof turnaround times.
If you request any special placement of the artwork on the product, please let us know in the email when you send us your artwork or discuss it with your custom print specialist. Don’t have a vector file or artwork to send? We can create your artwork, but an art fee may apply.
- If artwork is provided as vector – it will provide the fastest proof turnaround time, some artwork may need to be modified to meet print requirements depending on the complexity of the artwork, type of product, and type of imprint.
- If artwork is provided as an image – if printing other than digital, we will have to rebuild the artwork and match fonts as closely as possible. Some artwork may need to be modified to meet print requirements depending on the complexity of the artwork, type of product, and type of imprint. It will delay the processing of the proof turnaround time.
- If you don’t have artwork – Let us know your preferred fonts, or what you have in mind. We can help build your artwork. An art fee may apply. This will delay the processing of the proof turnaround time.
Proof Turnaround Time:
Once we receive your artwork, our proofing process takes up to 24-48 hours depending on the time of the year, the type of printing and whether your artwork needs to be modified or rebuilt. Upon receiving a copy of your proof via email, please review and inspect each page of the proof for accuracy in spelling, punctuation, art size and placement, imprint type and imprint color(s), and correct product type including color and dimensions. If changes are needed, please notify us prior to your approval.
If all is correct, please reply to the email with all proof pages signed. Once we receive proof approval, it finalizes the process, and we’ll schedule your order with production.
Before we print:
It’s important for you to sign the proof pages and email them back to us, this lets us know everything is approved so we can put your project on the print production schedule.
The lead time quoted by your custom print specialist will start AFTER we receive proof approval. Make sure you check your email and spam for a PDF of your proof. Look over and sign each page to make sure everything is correct. If there are changes, please notify us by calling or emailing us prior to signing. We will make the changes, then email you a revised proof. Your quoted lead time begins after we receive your final proof approval.
