How to Customize Large to Small Scale Print Products

Follow these steps to create the custom printing product you need for every kind of promotion: 

 

Order an offset printing or sign product. 

  • Offset printing is the technique used to transfer an inked image from a plate to a rubber blanket, and then onto the printing surface. It ensures high-quality output for large quantities. It is the method used for bulk printing orders such as brochures, flyers, posters, postcards, and business cards. 
  • Sign printing is for larger format displays such as banners, window clings, yard signs, plastic signs, flags, and magnets. The sign you print will depend on the material and the size.  

 

Combine width and length specs that will garner attention at a glanceWidths start from 2” up to 26”. Heights also go from 2” to as tall as 18”. If you want to see how the final design will appear before it’s printed, select “Wait – I want to receive and approve a free PDF proof” after uploading your file. 

 

You can also use our online design tool to load a blank canvas in the size selected. 

 

Print on sturdy paper or cardstock to showcase the reliability or luxury of your brand. Promoting a new product line or a store opening to a bigger audience? Let customers feel they can trust your company with thick paper or cardstock. Coat paper with elegant matte or gloss finishes highlighting the premium quality of your items. Below are the sturdiest options available for paper and cardstock: 

  • 80 lb. paper has a similar feel to a magazine cover. It’s slightly thicker than standard paper and comes in gloss or matte coating to protect the surface. 
  • 100 lb. paper is a little thicker than most magazine covers but a little thinner than cardstock. Recommended for brochures, flyers, and other promotions customers can keep on hand.  
  • 14 pt. cardstock is the standard material used for business cards. It can withstand multiple handling and comes in coatings that protect it from fingerprints 
  • 16 pt. cardstock is slightly thicker than the 14 pt. Recommended for business cards or other promotional tools handed out to VIP clients. It gives them the impression you value their business, while also putting your best “face” forward in introducing yourself. 
  • 17 pt. cardstock is the most rigid cardstock available and comes in an uncoated, writable surface. It has the most upscale vibe and the elegant texture gives it that extra high-end feel.  

 

Print a set of cut-to-size stickers or labels to display indoors. Need a set of individual labels to quickly apply on your products? Order 70 lb. label in matte, gloss, or high-gloss UV so that your item and company name are easy to read from a glance.  

 

Signs come in the following materials, depending on how they’re displayed: 

  • For paper signs: semi or high gloss that suit temporary displays in frames or inside the store. 
  • Vinyl in standard 13 oz., 15 oz, or 9 oz. mesh that lasts outdoors. The mesh is built to withstand wind, while the 13 and 15 oz. last years on display outside. 
  • Static cling or perforated adhesive vinyl for window clings. The removable structure makes it perfect for temporary signs and for reapplying in other areas. 
  • Magnetic stock for placing on your car while it’s making deliveries. 
  • Canvas for high-resolution photos or artwork displays. 
  • Adhesive fabric for displays on walls and other interiors.

Q:
I am interested in having holiday cards printed with the word COURAGE outside and a famous (public domain) poem inside. The card would be folded with a single horizontal fold (?)) so it opens “up” showing the poem inside.
Asked 9 days ago by Barry M.
A:

It would seem the product you are looking for is our Folded Greeting Cards which you should indicate has printing on both sides and half scored for easy folding.

You can create your artwork two ways. First is if you have a graphics designer who could lay out the words in the correct size and upload it on our website as a PDF file.

Second is you may use the Design Online option. Since it would seem your artwork contiains mostly text, our easy to use design tool will allow you to create your design from scratch and you won't need to hire a graphics designer.  You may go about it this way:

  1. Finalize the size dimension of the Greeting Card you need and decide on the quantity in the Specification area. You cannot change size after you start designing.
  2. After this, click on  "Design Online" located underneath the specification area and it will give you the canvass of the exact size of the Greeting Card. You need to select Portrait for the orientation. 
  3. Click on the "ABC" Icon and a text box will appear where you can type in the wording you need. In the area where it says front side, Type in the poem the way you need it to appear when you open the Greeting Card. There are icons there you may click on that will automatically center the text or align it in the way you need it. You may even drag the entire sentence to the area you need it to be.  
  4. After you are done with the front side, click on the arrow on the right and it will go to the Backside.  On the lower portion, Type in the word "Courage" in the font you need and the size. 
  5. Pease be sure to visualize what the card will look like. Get a piece of paper and fold it the way you would need your card to look like and this can be your hard copy sample. Then type in your text on the Design Tool in the same area as you would have on your sample. This way, you can understand why you started with the poem first because we would see that as the front side. 
  6. The menu also allows you to choose the font type, size and color of your text. You may also choose the color of the background or if you want it to remain white. You may also insert a logo or picture from your PC or put a border on your Greeting Card.
  7. Once you are happy with the design, save it. In fact you need to save as you go along so you dont need to start from scratch every time. The way it looks on your screen, is the way it will appear in the final print so make sure your text has the correct size to fill out the card properly so that you dont have too much blank space. Remember, you may control the type and size of the font and how its positioned or centered on the page.  
  8. When finished you can check out and place the order for your saved design. You still have an option to receive a free PDF  proof. This means, we will send you a PDF file of how the card will look like so you have a chance to review everything including typographical errors ( we won't be responsible for any spelling erros) before the job goes into production. You may print out this PDF proof on your end. When you print this out, it will be the exact size of the card as you ordered as indicated by the trim lines. However, after saving your job you would need to call us, to have this option triggered. If you check out and make payment without calling us, job will go into production directly and we will print exactly as your saved design.   

Also, if you have any difficulties in navigating the Design Tool, our Customer Support Representatives will be able to help you set up a design which you may duplicate and modify. Our lines are open 24 a days during weekdays and during office hours on weekends.

Q:
We are a concert venue in NY (CMAC). Looking to do a fundraiser selling personalized magnetic stars, two sizes: 18” and 9” 1 color: RED, we would offer personalization of a name (two lines). Does your company provide custom orders like this?
Asked a month ago by Heather T.
A:

We can do the shape and the color but the personalized information/names will mean each unique design will be considered a separate order. Please check our Car Magnets as the size you need is more attuned to this product.  However, since it is a custom shape, the price will be impacted significantly. If you can create an account online and speak to one of our Custom Representatives they will give you a quote. Perhaps to cut costs, we can print the magnets in the shape you need and the red background color but you may use letter transfer stickers on your end to make each magnet unique. We suggest you ask the Custom Department for quotes both for the unique designs and for the generic shape and color so you can see the price difference. 

Q:
Can you do half round die cutting for save the date wedding cards that is two sided and 5 x 8“. I need rush delivery please
Asked a month ago by Anu C.
A:

Yes, that is doable. As a custom job, we will need you to create an account and give us a call to speak to a Custom Representative for a quote. Please discuss your deadline as Custom jobs often take longer to print than our standard turnaround times.

Q:
I am trying to make small support banners for a Kpop concert I am attending. 45cmx15cm is the sizes, double sided, glossy finish. Is this possible?
Asked 2 months ago by Andrea
A:

We would encourage you to use inches in ordering as the printing industry has unfortunately still not gone metric yet. That would be close to 18" x 6" and we would recommend you view our Poster Signs as these are traditionally used for that purpose. It would be printed on White PVC Board or 20 Mil Styrene. Both of these options would not have a high gloss finish but would be very good in deflecting glare and is very sturdy so it will not bend or fold while handling. 

Q:
Is this in inches or centimeters?
Asked 2 months ago by Andrea
A:

All our measurements on the Custome Printing page are in inches.  When you go directly to our Signs and Banners, we still use inches unless feet/foot options are clearly indicated
