Ordering Information for Custom
Magnets and Keyrings
We specialize in producing great quality, full-color
photo magnets and keyrings - the same ones that many wholesale souvenir
vendors distribute - and we will be happy to produce your special
projects, short or long run jobs, with the same care and attention
to detail to achieve that quality.
You can supply your original artwork, color
slides, high quality color prints or digital files for us to work
from but please take a few moments to sketch a simple mock-up of the
image as it should appear in the finished design to show us where
you want cropping, placement of your title (if any) and any other
specific elements of the design you want us to reproduce. Your mock-up
needs only to be a simple pencil outline of the image along with some
notes of instruction in the margin areas. Mock-ups are not necessary
for jobs furnished with press ready digital files but a good color
print-out of the image is recommended to assure color matching between
your system and ours.
Press-ready digital files in formats such
as Photoshop, TIF or JPG (JPGs should be high quality - low compression)
are all accepted for printing and allow you to create the design exactly
as you want it. Files should be saved at 300 - 400 pixels per inch
and the image should include a bleed area that gets trimmed off at
the edges as specified for each item below.
MAGNETS Regular Size (image area 3 x 2")
• Please
supply Photoshop, TIF or JPG image files at 300 - 400 pixels per inch.

The "Live" image
area size is: 2.75" x 1.75" (2-3/4" x 1-3/4") which allows important
image elements to float 1/8" inside each edge from the trim line.
(see next paragraph)
•
The "Live" area is an important area for Titles, Logos, Graphic elements
or any other part of the design that must be prevented from getting
too close to the trimmed edge in order to avoid giving a mis-cut or
off-center look due to minor registration irregularities that can
occur during assembly.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS - We do not recommend using outline borders near the outside
edge of your design since they can increase the appearance of small
registration irregularities in positioning that can occur during the
assembly process.
COLOR
Due to variations in color monitors and their rendering capabilities,
it is useful to include a color printout that accurately shows the
color you expect to achieve from your files for us to match.
ARTWORK FILES
Each job (each design) should be organized in a single individual
folder and each complete batch of jobs should be written (burned)
to a new disk by themselves. To help prevent mistakes, each file should
be named appropriately to match the description of your job. If you
must send a disk with other mixed files on it (files that won't be
used in you job) please be sure to keep them SEPARATE from all job
files and make a list on paper of all job files by their EXACT NAME
including file type suffixes such as JPG, TIF, EPS, etc. and describe
where they are to be found on your disk such as which folder they
reside in. We cannot be responsible for errors made due to files not
identified properly. The best way to avoid errors is to make a new
disk containing only the current job(s) files or by organizing all
job files into one folder which is clearly marked by the job name,
description or number. Additional charges will occur for changes needed
to correct job errors due to files which were not clearly identified
and/or organized.
You may send your files to us on CD, DVD or by
e-mail as attachments.
PROOFS
- You will receive a proof by emai before your job is produced.

is 500 of each design ordered.
A one-time set up fee of $30.00 applies to each new order
