Square Cut or Contour/Die Cut

The standard finishing is square cut. Contour/Die cut decals, or shape cut decals, remove the excess material. We apply the decal to a backing, so when you're applying the decal all of the letters or shapes stick together and are easy to apply.

Artwork Guidelines

Files that print best are .eps or .ai (Adobe Illustrator) converted to outline. We can also print high resolution .pdf, .tif, and .jpg formats. If you don’t have access to or are unsure if you have a high-resolution file, our professional graphic designers will be happy to assist with this. 

Order Proofs

If you are looking to be able to give your order one last look and make sure all the information and images are correct, requesting an order proof will allow you that benefit. Your order proof will include a low-resolution image of your artwork, a summary of your order including pricing, and your billing and shipping information. Please note if you receive a proof, you will need to email or call back your customer service representative with approval before your order will go into production.

Color Match Proof System

If your project is color critical, we highly recommend using our Color Match Proof System, as this is the best way to ensure the color match for your specific project. For more details please contact our team of friendly Customer Service Representatives who are all professional graphic designers to assist you with any questions you might have.
