Need to get your business out where it can be seen but don't know how to get started? Maybe you've gone the imprinted water bottle route and it's left you thirsting for more. Perhaps you just need a few suggestions in choosing the right gear to promote your companies event.

Find the right promotional items for your business with a call to the experts. Our Front Counter Gang can lead you through the maze of toys and tools to the best items that will get your company's name or message out where it will create the most impact.

Please contact us if you are unsure whether your art will work. Art for most promotional items, such as pencils, pens etc., must be a vector file and should be created in a vector program such as Adobe Illustrator or Corel Draw. To save time, the following guidelines are suggested.

Art on Paper

Clean, crisp art at the final print size is recommended. Any deviation from this may require more art time.

Computer Art

Vector art is recommended. This is art created in Illustrator, Corel Draw or Freehand. The fonts must be converted to outline or curves. Please include a .jpeg as a proof. Freehand files must be converted to an .eps file. Placed images must be included with the file.

Bitmap files such as .tiff, .bmp or .psd are good for painted or photographic images. For best results the image must be created at 300dpi at the final print size. Images taken from the internet such as .jpeg or .giff are not recommended because they are usually too small. These types of files will not work for promotional items such as pencils, flashlights etc.

Lists of names must be typed in Microsoft Word. For a paragraph of names, do not press "Enter" at the end of each line. For names to be placed in columns please press "Enter" after each name. Please e-mail the font with the file. Please e-mail us the font along with the file.

We use the following applications on the Windows platform:

Corel Draw 12

Adobe Illustrator CS

Adobe Photoshop CS
