Art Specifications

 
Templates:  Download the necessary template(s) from our Print Templates section, available in both PSD and PDF format. 

 

Layout: For layout please use InDesign and/or Illustrator.

 

In your art files … Designate the VEOBA template to its OWN LAYER.

 

Design*/Photos:  For images and photo manipulation use Photoshop.  Photoshop is NOT a layout program.  DO NOT CREATE TEXT IN PHOTOSHOP!  Text created in Photoshop tends to print jagged and not clean.

 

Include all fonts, or CREATE OUTLINES (Illustrator), or package (InDesign).

 

ALL images must be NO LESS than 300dpi and converted to CMYK or Grayscale. 

 

If you have placed any images in your layout, don’t forget to EMBED them. 

 

We use CMYK coloring for all print and promo items.

 

Remember to add at least an 1/8th inch bleed on all print (this is shown on the templates). 

 

*Please keep ink coverage to a minimum for the seeded paper cards.

 

NOTE: If you are in a bind, or see a typo on a proof, we can make the change for you, but our graphics department fee is $75 per hour, with a minimum of ½ hour billable time.  Ouch!  Yep, so make sure you double-check your files before sending them.  Also, extra rounds of PDF proofs incur extra charges.
