Ad Copy
Accurate and complete ad copy is critical to customer satisfaction. Copy that is unclear or illegible will delay booking of the order. To avoid mistakes, follow these procedures:
1. Print or type all copy. Order forms with copy and/or instructions that are illegible or confusing cannot be processed until all questions are resolved. (If space on the order form is not sufficient, attach a separate sheet.)
2. Clearly identify the content and exact position of all logos/art. If possible, submit color separated art.
3. Copy instructions relating to style/arrangement of type must be clearly printed. In multiple color imprints, identify the color desired for each line of copy.
4. Proofread each order more than once for spelling, punctuation, legibility, correct address and phone/fax numbers. (Whenever possible, include the buyer's business card or printed stationery.)
5. Customers are now required to verify that all copy is correct by initialing each order in the lower right corner.
6. We are not responsible for area code or zip code changes after order is printed.
Typestyles
We generally set in block type unless script, italics, or other styles are requested. If there is a specialized type wanted, please submit sample and we will come as close as possible.
Copy Limits
We have no definite copy limits, but highly suggest 4 to 6 line ads. Be careful of ad becoming so cluttered that focus is lost.
