What is a preproduction sample and how much does it cost?
To help imagine or picture what your particular logo or decor would look like on a piece of glassware, we offer a preproduction sample. By seeing and feeling your own creation you would be more qualified to make an intelligent decision. The sample of engraved glass costs $100, the sample of a glass with one color imprint costs $100, additional color costs $50.00. Remember, all the set up costs are included in the price of your sample and after confirming the order, sample costs are voided. That means that after you give us the 'go ahead' to proceed with the order you will not be charged the set up costs again.
What is a maximum imprinting area?
There is a specific maximum imprinting area given by size and/or shape specifications of particular glass. This we have to establish prior to designing the work. We would use our best judgment and expertise to establish the proper size of the logo or décor. However, if you suggest otherwise we would be honored to follow your instructions.
ARTWORK REQUIREMENTS
What is Camera-Ready Art?
It's simply a quality black and white piece of artwork that specialty factories and printers require for reproduction of a custom trademark or design or even a special typestyle. The factory will photograph the artwork in the process of making the plate, die, screen, or pad that is used to imprint the item being ordered. "Quality" means the art must be clean, sharp and on quality gloss paper. Quality is NOT letterheads, business cards, photo copies, ads, pencil drawings, photographs, matchbooks, patches, etc.--these items simply do not give us the quality image needed to produce a quality imprint. Most of the time, the factory will reject these and request better artwork.
What is Color-Separated Artwork?
Color-separated artwork refers to a design that is being printed in more than one color. The factory that is printing the design will need to make a die, plate or screen for each color of imprinting. For example, if they are printing white T-shirts with red and black imprint copy, they will need to make two screens --one for red imprinting and one for black imprinting. Artwork needs to be provided color-separated which means that in this case two pieces of art would be needed--one piece for red copy and one piece for black copy. Color-separated a separate piece of art for only that color. two pieces of art would be needed--one piece for red copy and one piece for black copy. Color-separated a separate piece of art for only that color.
