For Printing Buttons please have art prepared:

• At 300 p.p.i. (pixels-per-inch) resolution or higher.

• Accepted programs are Adobe illustrator, QuarkXpress and Adobe Photoshop.

• Convert all type to outline form (Vector Art) If this cannot be done, include all of the screen and printer fonts used in creating your document.

• Be sure to include any placed images used in creating the document. They must be saved as a TIFF or EPS file.

• All disks and files must be Macintosh formatted.

• All products are 100% union made. Graphic Communications International Union Label can be printed on the edge or the front of buttons or the front of stickers.

• If your file is incomplete and needs changes or additions, or if scanning of photo or art is necessary, add $60 art prep charge.

• Any full color artwork created in Photoshop must be saved as CMYK colors, not as RGB colors. CMYK colors are preferred for the digital full color process we use for printing buttons.

• We will provide a very small print credit or tag line on the rim edge of the button (not visible from the front) at no extra charge. Please spell out legibly the text you want. Please keep it as short as possible. Initials, or a short name, or a copyright date and name, a phone number or website. The one inch size buttons have very limited space around the circumference of the rim for text.
