Your company name and your purchase order number must appear in the subject line of the e-mail to our balloon distributor. A hard copy, PDF, JPG, or TIFF of the imprint must accompany the purchase order for verification to avoid a $10.00 paper proof charge.
The files must be line art/vector image in Adobe Illustrator CS or below. Corel Draw files or Freehand must be exported (not copied and pasted) as Illustrator, AI, or EPS files. Microsoft® Word documents and Quark files will not be accepted.
Fonts and Straight-Line Copy:
Fonts incorporated in artwork must be converted to curves or paths. No type should be less than 4 points. Bold sans-serif fonts are recommended for small type. All rules and outlines should be 1 point or greater. A maximum of four to five short lines of copy are recommended for straight-line copy. Abbreviations, capitalization, and punctuation will be followed as shown on your order. Please print clearly. If not specified, type style and layout selection will be made for best effect.
Multi-Color Screen Printing:
Due to the unique challenges involved in printing on a round, flexible latex surface, ink colors will shift approximately 1⁄16" to 1⁄8". Order acceptance by our balloon distributor will be based on approval of artwork and printing capabilities. A pre-production sample may be required. Balloons need to be inflated and viewed from five feet away for normal viewing.
For foil balloons, a minimum of 1⁄8" separation between colors is required due to movement during printing. Order acceptance is based on approval of approval of artwork. Additional separation may be required depending on the complexity of the art. Approval of a spec sample may be required.
Art must be vector art set up in spot colors. Stock inks will be used unless PMS inks are specified.
Production-Ready Art:
Customer-supplied artwork should be production-ready and no smaller than 4" x 4" for latex balloons and 6" x 6" for foil balloons. Art will be sized to the maximum imprint area of the product selected. Artwork should be a minimum 300 dpi, when applicable.
Media Requirements – CD’s are recommended.
Fax transmissions are not considered production-ready art.
