Most orders fit in the 2 week time frame but at times due to the complexity of print job, errors in art submission, changes to an order in production, long wait times for proof approvals, and delays or errors with shipping companies, there may be additional delays.

Rolotab color plastic business cards are created using a High Quality Offset presses, High Quality Screen Presses and digital hi-resolution large format inkjet press, directly printing onto the plastic substrate. This process allows for great detail but keep in mind that large coverage areas will require a bit more drying time.

We would love to receive your artwork as a standard Illustrator EPS or AI file, but we do accept other formats. Need a starting point? download 1 of our templates.

a. Professional Graphics Programs
Use professional graphics programs to setup your digital files, such as Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Indesign, Quark Xpress. These programs have a bit of a learning curve, but will give you superior results when it comes to high quality output. Please note there is an additional charge to process Microsoft Products for printing. We do not advise the use of Publisher, Powerpoint or Word for the production of professional graphics for professional printing.

b. Standard File Formats
We'd love to receive your digital files in the native file format of the program that you use. If you choose to use another graphics program such as Corel Draw, AutoCad, etc., we require that you save your file in a high resolution standard file format such as, EPS, TIFF, PDF, etc. Don't forget to include your linked graphics, embedded files and fonts used in your documents. Whenever possible convert your fonts to outlines or curves.

c. Color Space
If you are using a raster based product such as Photoshop, please setup your file in RGB. Since the media starts off as white there is no need to apply any special layers or cutouts. Printing on our Super-White plastic is just like printing on standard paper. For vector or page layout files simply setup your file as RGB or CMYK and place your tif, eps or jpg images in your layout. Since we are ripping to CMYK, you are welcome to send your final files in CMYK.

d. Document - Image Size - Resolution
If using a raster based product such as Photoshop, set your resolution to 300 DPI minimum | Standard card size and image area is (call) If your card has a bleed pleased add .125" on all sides. Therefore your final bleed size would be (call) Vector programs (Illustrator, Corel) or page layout programs (Quark, Indesign) are resolution independent, so there are no worries about resolution. Placed images however will need to retain the same resolution (300 dpi)

e. Bounding Boxes and Crops
Sometimes there are parts of your document that you don't want included on your final print. Use a bounding box to show the area that you want printed on the final document. As an alternative, you can use crop marks as well. Your bounding box could be used to show custom cuts or round corners as well

f. Thin Lines and Artwork Complexity
We welcome the use of thin lines and complex art on our Super-White cards. If you can print it on your laser printer or inkjet, we can print it on Super-White

g. Linked-Imbedded Images
Your graphics program will either imbed your graphic images or provide links to them. Either way it is a good idea to send us the graphics files along with your document. You can either manually collect the images or have your graphics program collect the files automatically.

h. Fonts, Curves and Outlines
Most professional graphics programs now have the option of converting the fonts you use in a digital file to curves or outlines. This retains the look and feel of your digital file and eliminates the possibility of our production personnel using the wrong font when we print your digital file. Always make sure you save your original digital file on your disk, make a duplicate of that file and do the conversions to your duplicate file. That will allow you to go back and make type changes if you need to at a later date. Conversion to curves or outlines eliminates any issues surrounding fonts used in your project, guaranteeing that whatever type layout you see is the same you'll get when we go to press. If your application does not support this feature, please make sure that when you submit your digital file to us, you include any and all fonts used on your digital file.

i. File Compression
We accept compressed files in WINZIP, and Stuffit formats. EXE files are not accepted. Compressed files are subject to the same guidelines as regular files. Please inform us of the original files and formats that are compressed in the file.
