  • Convert all fonts to outlines/curves before sending.

Logos

Our company maintains a large database of standardized company logos and artwork files. In some cases we may already have your logo on file in the format we need. Alterations are sometimes necessary to make a logo appear clean and legible when processed. Failing to make these minor changes will result in a poor quality image or engraving that does not meet Awards and More quality standards. These moderate but necessary alterations will be done as part of our set-up service. If additional costs are involved we will let you know.

Typestyles

If your layout contains copy, please let us know if you have a font preference.

Proofs

We provide two free proofs in our award pricing. There is an additional charge of $10 per proof after that.

Do you provide a proof of the design prior to production?

A proof is provided for approval prior to production. A delay in proof approval can effect turnaround times, so please reply promptly.

I see a product I like on a different website, can you supply that same product?

Our business is a proud member of the Awards and Recognition Association. As such, we have access to a wealth of resources to source just about any product on the market today. We will be able to supply most products on the market, with the exception of those products that are proprietary to a specific retailer or controlling group of retailers.
