1.
What file formats do you accept?
For die-cut vinyl jobs, we accept Adobe Illustrator
(.ai) and Adobe Illustrator EPS (.eps). Please note
that a raster file (jpg, bmp, tif) embedded into and
Illustrator EPS/AI file are NOT acceptable. Non-vector
files will require a scan/conversion setup.
For printed items, we accept JPEGS (.jpg), TIFFs (.tif),
and Adobe Photoshop (.psd). Files must be at least 150dpi
at the actual size (300dpi recommended). Files lower
than these specs may not produce optimal results.
PLEASE CONSULT OUR ARTWORK PAGE

2. If I bring in a photo/drawing, can you make a decal
of it?
The answer to this depends:
- If you want a full-color printed decal, the picture/drawing
must be a good enough resolution (at least 150dpi at
actual size) to get decent results.
- If your drawing is inked and looks exactly the way
you want it, we can vectorize it in order for our computers
to cut out your design. A scan/conversion fee will be
required.
- If you have a rough sketch that needs extra work,
we can create a design/layout based on your idea. A
design fee will be required.
3.
Will your decals/signs last long outdoors?
Yes. Our premium vinyl is made for outdoor
use and has a life expectancy of about 3-5 years. In
some cases they outlast this period, but it would really
depend on how much exposure they get to the elements.
There are a few items that are not meant for
long-term outdoor use. Please be sure to let us know
if your planning an outdoor application, and we can
better inform you when you order.
4.
How big can you make vinyl decals?
For Standard Single-Colors, we can go as large
as 20" tall without any overlapping. Premium Colors
(metallics, reflectives, patterns) and Printed Decals
can go about 12" without overlapping.
5. What surfaces can I apply these decals to?
Vinyl will stick
to many surfaces. To determine whether a surface is
adequate, keep in mind as a general rule of thumb, vinyl
will stick to almost any surface that is clean and
smooth/nonporous.
The most common
surfaces for application are:
GLASS, PLASTICS, AND PAINTED/COATED SURFACES
Vinyl will have problems adhering to:
CEMENT, OXIDIZED/FADED/PRIMER PAINT, RUBBER, WOOD,
& OILY SURFACES
6. I only need 1 or 2 shirts with my logo? Is that
possible?
Yes. For our short-run shirts, we use an industrial
press to thermally imprint a special heat-transfer material
onto our apparel. The material is very flexible and
lasts just as long as silk-screening. The cost of each
T-shirt would be about $20-25 for a single color, and
this method eliminates costly setup charges which are
only cost-effective with large-run orders (three dozen
or more).
7. I am part of/own a business. Do I have to pay
tax?
If your product is for personal use or not intended
to be resold, then yes, taxes are applicable. If your
product will be for resale, we require the proper documentation
and resale information in order to omit the taxes.
8. What forms of payment do you take?
We accept all major credit cards, as well as cash and
business checks. NO personal checks please.
