GUIDE TO ORDERING CARDS WITH CUSTOM ARTWORK

Secura Key is an industry leader in the creation of cards with custom, four-color graphics.

A minimum quantity of 250 cards is required for custom artwork.

Follow these steps tp order cards with custom artwork:

1. Submit Artwork to Secura Key

Preferred file format is Adobe Illustrator, however TIF, JPG, EPS and PDF are also accepted. If there is any text, you must include the fonts as well. All printing is done in a 4 color process. If you want to match to a specific color, send a printed sample and our art department will create artwork to your specifications. PhotoShop images such as JPG, TIF, PSD must be in 300 dpi or higher at actual size. The standard plastic color is white. If another plastic color is desired, contact Customer Service or sales for more information.

2. Submit Your Purchase Order For Custom Cards

With a minimum card order of 250 cards , our Art Department will produce a proof. This proof provides samples of the artwork and ink colors to be used. (The actual colors may vary slightly from the proof since printing colors on plastic is more variable than printing on paper.) Secura Key will send proofs overnight at no charge.

3. Get Your Customer To Sign The Proof

The proof should be signed with no reservations. If changes are required, a new proof will have to be made. The new proof will be completed within one week and again sent out for approval. Once the proof is approved with no changes you must return it to Secura Key. We cannot begin printing custom cards until we have a signed proof at our factory.

4. Job Completion

The typical lead time is four weeks after we receive the signed proof at the factory.

5. Reorders

To reorder cards with the same artwork and colors use the four-digit artfile number which appears in the corner of every card. Simply specify the artfile number and order a minimum of 250 cards. The typical lead time for reorders of custom cards is three weeks .

6. Custom Printing Charges: There is a flat fee for custom printing
