Artwork
Price is based on customer supplied camera-ready art, films or disk (in
acceptable programs).
|
Laminating
Available in gloss or matte finish. Bonds a strong, protective layer of plastic
to the sheets. Most durable of the available coatings.
|
| |
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.
|
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.
|
| |
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.

Stock
See our Color Chart for stock
selection groups. Base stocks included in the price are 12 pt. C1S Semi-gloss
White, 80 lb. Smooth White, and White Marble Crush. Please choose a stock color
lighter than PMS colors. MarbleCoat stock is not available on all items. Custom
order stocks are not a problem. Just tell us what you need. UV COATING is
available on Semi-gloss White stock only.

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.
|
Spine Attachments
 Metal eyelet and prong
attachments are available in any of our Felt, Smooth, Vertical, Gainsborough,
Hopsack, Linen, Cordwain and Oxford stocks. White card stock is also available.
Spine attachments can be stitched into most large folders. Please indicate your
stock and color choice when ordering. Requires additional production time.
|

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.
|
Pocket Options
A variety of card slots and brochure slits are available FREE of charge. See
the Pocket Options for more information.
|
| |
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.
|
Production Time
Ten working days. Schedules can often be adjusted based on the specifics of
your order. For "rush" orders, please see General
Information.
