Jesus, Chips, and Queso! Oh my!

Here’s our lovely designer Amy modeling these shirts we made for Victory Christian Center.  We’re not sure if Jesus was into chips and queso back in the day, but we’re sure it sounds like a great time!  Amy is also our resident t-shirt and apparel specialist, so drop her a line if you’re thinking of getting some custom shirts of your own!

What the heck are “bleeds?”

Has your printer ever asked you if your file has bleeds, and sent you into a blind panic?  Put the bandages away, we’re here to explain!

How To Add Bleeds to you Print File

If you would like color to go all the way to the edge of your finished piece, you will need to include a .125″ bleed on all four sides.  This will add a total of .25″ to the height and width of your file size, so a file for a 5″x 7″ Invitation with full bleed would need to be 5.25″ x 7.25″.  All text and important visual elements should remain at least .25″ away from the cut line.  The graphic above shows proper file setup for a standard 3.5″x 2″ business card with bleeds.

Patriotic Pop Up for Capital Integrity Group

With Fourth of July fast approaching, we wanted to show off this beautiful red white and blue pop up banner we made for Jose Robles at Capital Integrity Group.  This banner is printed on an all new and extra durable blackout material that has more of a canvas feel than our standard polyester banner inserts.  It’s great for outdoor displays where you don’t want the sunshine to make your banner translucent and obscure your message.  Get prepared for your next event and contact us today about making a custom pop up banner of your own!

Add Special Effects with Spot UV!

We just designed and printed these business cards for Anna at Phillips Interiors, and we love how they came out.  Anna wanted to add some photography on the back of her cards to showcase her work, and she chose to add glossy UV coating in the shape of the “P” from her logo over top.  Way to drive your branding home Anna!  Spot UV can be applied to one or both sides of your product, in any shape or pattern you like.  Contact us about adding some well placed shine to your printed products today!

Custom Printed Coasters for your weekend plans!

We printed these beautiful coasters for the Fairmont, which feature their logo with a special cocktail recipe on the back.  This is a great example of adding  functionality to an already useful item, increasing the value of the item and the likelihood that it will be saved as a keepsake!  These coasters now serve as a home for each guest’s beverage, surface protector, advertising for the business, and recipe card all in one.  Gotta love that!  We print small quantity coaster orders in house, so turnaround time is only 2-3 business days.  Larger orders are available with about 2 weeks notice, and with significant quantity discounts.  Contact us about custom coasters for your event today!
