Size Calculation |

All custom design items are priced by size, not by design. To calculate
the size, measure the height and multiply it by the length to calculate
the square inch area.

1.25" x 4.75" = 5.9 square inches

Printing and Processes |
| We use 2 methods of imprinting colors on
our plastic. |
| Foils: |
We use exterior and interior hot stamp foils for a wide
range of pigments and metallic effects. |
| Inks: |
For exterior applications when a foil color is not available,
or when a color match is requested, we will use acrylic ink to coat
the raised area of the item.
Also used for interior applications when a color match is requested. Color Match: $175.00 (X).
Due to variables in plastic and foil formulations, subtle color changes can occur beyond our control. Therefore, perfect color matches cannot be guaranteed. |
Pebbled Background |
| |
Add $50.00(V) to setup and .06(V) to unit cost. |
Extra Color Charges |
| Color Registration |
Color registration applies when printing colors that
are separated by approximately 1/16".

|
Flat Printing
|
Flat printing applies when colors are adjacent to
each other with no separation.
