Product & Ordering Information
Embossing The size of the emboss area is included in the base price and includes one area, single level raised, blind (no ink) emboss. Copy is raised to the maximum lift allowed by the stock and your copy design. In preparing artwork, avoid type smaller than 8 pt., screens, very fine line and tight, intricate detail. Copy needs to be 1/8" away from all scores. We'll be glad to review your copy and make suggestions prior to submitting. Please call for an estimate when combining embossing with foil stamping or printing. Special embossing techniques such as combination, sculptured, etc. are available. Foil Stamping The size of one foil area is included in the base price. See our Color Chart for standard foil colors. We can order custom and special effect foil colors. In preparing artwork, avoid type smaller than 8 pt., screens, very fine lines and tight, intricate detail which can cause foil to plug. We'll be glad to review your copy and make suggestions prior to submitting. Please call for an estimate when combining foil stamping with embossing or printing. Printing: PMS Colors The print base price includes one or two PMS ink color(s), hairline registration of copy and bleeds. For best results, choose ink colors that are darker than the stock you select. When necessary, a protective overall gloss varnish will be applied FREE of charge. Please call for an estimate when combining printing with embossing or foil stamping. Printing: Four-Color Process The four-color process base price is based on customer supplying a complete set of color separated composite negatives and a color proof. A 150 line screen on white stock produces the best results. Printing: Heavy Ink Coverage Refers to the increased amount of ink necessary for a solid block of color 80 square inches or larger. We will notify you of the additional charge prior to production. If necessary, a flood gloss varnish is applied FREE of charge. When combining an overall background or large solid area with a screened area of the same color, a separate negative of just the solid area is necessary. This allows us to run the screen clean and double bump the solid area. |
Laminating Available in gloss or matte finish. Bonds a strong, protective layer of plastic to the sheets. Most durable of the available coatings. U.V. Coating A very high gloss finish applied to the sheet like a protective varnish. Exposure to ultraviolet light cures the finish to a brilliant shine. Must be applied to an enamel or clay coated paper, such as our Semi-gloss White. More shiny than varnish, but does not provide the protection of lamination. Tends to fingerprint on large areas of dark ink (wipes away easily). We also offer Spot UV to highlight certain areas of your copy design rather than the full sheet, call for pricing.
