| Sizes We do not have a "standard" size as all our badges are custom designed and manufactured to your specifications. We do have a maximum size of 3.375" x 2.125", which is the size of a credit card. Thickness Unless specified, all badges are printed on .060" thick white PVC material. This is twice as thick as a credit card. We do offer thinner .030" material at no additional charge. Materials While we do have silver and gold materials, we don't recommend using those colors for photo ID badges. White material will reproduce your photos best. Shapes Square or rectangular shapes are customary and are included in the price of the badge. We can make custom shapes, they just cost a little more. |

| File Types
Sorry to all the Apple fans out there, we are a PC based company. Vector formats are best for production so send us your EPS, AI, or CDR files. If you have a PDF, we may be able to use it and will let you know if we can't. While we can print from other files such as JPG or BMP, we cannot control those formats in terms of color or quality. |

Sending Your Files
The easiest way to get your files to us to to e-mail computer files directly to Badge and Sign Store. If you send us the native files, it is helpful to also send a PDF so we can verify everything came through correctly. PMS Color Matching There is an additional charge for PMS color matching. PMS color matches are one time and reprints will match the original. If you proceed with a PMS match, we will match the color as closely as our printing process allows. If color is critical, we suggest a spec sample, just ask us how. |

| Background Colors While we do have silver and gold materials, we don't recommend using those colors for photo ID badges. White material will reproduce your photos best. Solid color printed backgrounds Our printers allow us to print in millions of colors. We can print full bleeds and gradients all at no extra cost. Some color combinations don't play well together (Gray on silver especially). If you're unsure, just ask. |
