Layout Information

All Graphic files need to be uploaded to our Server, not e-mail, please. This is done from the order page.

What types of images will work?

Illustrator 9 - Corel 10
Most graphic formats such as .Al, CDR, .CGM, .EMF, .EPS, .PDF, .PSD .PCD, .PNG, .TIF, .WMF, .JPG(high resolution 300 dpi CMYK) will work. Our favorites .JPG and .PSD

PLEASE - ALL FILES NEED TO BE CONVERTED FROM RGB TO CMYK...
Convert fonts to curves or outline depending on the program you use, so we do not have to find the fonts on all .eps and vector files.

IMPORTANT!!

Please DO NOT name your graphic file "button". Please name your file the same as the billing name, so we can find the file once you upload it. Example (John Smith = JohnSmith.tif)

If you plan to design the button yourself, follow the layout instructions.



Please note that Microsoft Word, Publisher, and Power Point are not graphics programs. They are presentation and desktop publishing programs and we can't use these files for buttons.

NEED HELP?

If you do not have any graphics, tell us what you want and we will try to help you find something that will make you happy.
Do not try to be extreme in what you are asking for. An example of extreme would be "I want clipart that has a several doctors all female one Asian, one Black, one American Indian all dressed in blue with tennis shoes on." We can find clip art with doctors, the rest would just be found by chance.

We do have many predesigned buttons available to help you along. Click here to see our Gallery of buttons that we are working on.
Buttons have a full background area that covers the face, the sides, and the back of the button attaching in between the metal parts. Below is the dimensions and set up guide for your buttons designing.
Below is a sample of how a round button will look as a finished layout and a finished button.
