What is the cost for a custom logo plate?
We charge $50.00 as a one time cost to have your custom plate made. There is no extra charge to use this plate over and over again as your needs require.

How long does it take to have the plate made, and ribbon imprinted?
You should normally allow an extra 3 business days for a plate to be made and returned to us. As soon as the plate is received by us, your order goes into production and usually shipped the same or next day. We have the plate shipped to us via USPS Express Mail.

How wide is the ribbon you use for the custom logos?
We use both the 3/8" and 5/8" ribbon for the custom logos.

If we need a custom logo (graphic) together with text, can you do that?
Yes. Just send us your logo file together with the text typed in the location desired.

Is there a minimum quantity we have to order to use our logo?
The minimum quantity for the continuous imprint ribbon is 50 yards.

How long can my imprint be?
The length would be the same as our regular imprinted ribbons. Please check our FAQ page for more information.

Are there any discounts for large quantity orders?
Definitely. Click here to see our selection of products.

How do I send you our custom logo file?
You would e-mail us your file.

What are the scanning instructions and recommendations?
Although original files are preferred, high resolution tiffs are also acceptable. Scanning poor copy with ragged edges will produce a file with, you guessed it, ragged edges. Printing it to your inkjet or laser printer may not tell you the whole story on the quality of the file.

Some good rules for scanning include:

  • Scan line art at 600 to 1200 dpi and save as a "bitmap tiff" to remove the screens around the edges of the image.
  • Scan halftones at a dpi of 2 1/2 times the linescreen you want to print at. Save the file as a "grayscale tiff".
  • Crop the image down to just what you need to send to us. Scanning a small piece of art on an 8 1/2 X 11 page will be a huge file because all of the empty page around the image will be part of the scan and will be represented by pixels. The more pixels, the bigger the file. Monstrous files go nowhere via e-mail.
  • Jpegs and gifs will not be accepted. They are great for viewing on your computer screen but are rarely high enough quality for printing.
