When do I receive the online proof?
- In most cases we will email you a PDF proof for approval within 4 hours when you select Online Proof (PDF). These PDF proofs are free and unlimited. You can reject art and upload new art as many times as necessary for no additional charge. If your order is color critical, we recommend that you purchase a high resolution hard copy proof. This proof will show you what the printed piece will look like in terms of color.

What is your turnaround time?
- All turnaround times are based on business days, Monday through Friday and excluding all holidays. Turnaround represents the time required to produce your job before it ships. This does not include shipping or transit time. Turnaround times begin once you have placed an order for a job, uploaded artwork to that job, and approved the online PDF proof. The job must be approved by 12 noon for that day to count in the production time. Example: If a new order is placed on a Monday and the artwork is approved that same day by 12 noon PST, it will ship on that Friday under a normal 5 day turnaround. Please note: if the artwork is found to have issues that will affect the print quality, your job will be placed on hold until the issues are resolved. Once issues are resolved, the turnaround time will start over from that point.
- If you have a deadline and just can not wait, we also offer 2 day, 1 day and same day turnaround.
What is the difference between "foil 1 position" and "foil 2 positions"?
- "foil 1 position" is just that, a single positon foil such as your logo or a block of text.
- "foil 2 positions" accurse when you use two colors of foil. Separate dies are made for each color, this is a foil 2 position. You can also have a single color foil 2 position by spreading out the foil in a distance from each other such as a logo at the top of the presentation folder and a block of text on the bottom of the folders. Also a foil on the front and a foil on the back or pocket would be considered a foil 2 position.
What format should artwork be submitted in?
- To start off, we prefer to have your files set up on one of out templates but if you have designed your folder on your own template we can check it and lay it out to fit our templates.
- As far as file formats go, we accept Adobe Illustrator files, InDesign files, Adobe Photoshop files (Images should be 300dpi and text should be at 600dpi), we also accept Print ready PDF files. Now, if you are not sure what you have will work or you just want us to check your files, upload your files through our file check link, where we will check your files and get back to you letting you know if your files will work or if there may be issues and what can be done to rectify any potential problems with your file.
