Additional Information

All artwork, variable data, images, layouts etc will need to be emailed to digitalprint@abilityplastics.com. Any changes or alterations required to make the artwork usable with result in a $75 per hour charge with a minimum of 1/4 hour. We use CMYK process colors and some PMS colors cannot be reproduced. Because of the variations inherent in all printed materials we do not recommend borders on plastic cards that parallel the edge of the printed piece because slight variations may be noticeable. If color proofs are required, the first will be supplied within 48 hours of receipt of electronic artwork and sent via first class mail. Rush proofs are also available at additional cost. Proofs can also be sent via UPS at the customers expense. Proofs must be carefully reviewed, signed, dated, and returned. A signed proof is final acceptance to produce the order. Production lead time starts upon receipt of a signed proof.
