Why should I use my own design?

Modified on Sun, 30 Apr, 2023 at 5:58 PM

Since our customized products are usually pre-printed, if you would like to change something on a product, you should go with your own design and start from scratch.

Reasons to use your own artwork

1) You would like to change one of the pre-designed forms on our website
2) You have your own artwork
3) Our customized products do not offer enough flexibility for what you would like to achieve
4) You would like more ink colors than our pre-set products offer

What are the steps?

The first thing is to determine exactly what you would like. We would need to know at least three of the following points before we can provide a quote:

1) The paper size of the final product
2) The ink color(s) to be used
3) The options needed (consecutive numbering, perforations, etc...)
4) The quantities needed

Quote requests can be emailed to info@smartresolution.com and will be answered within 48 hours. Files may be attached if more precise information is required.

What if I do not have artwork?

In order for us to print something with your design, we need to know EXACTLY what needs to be printed. The only two ways for us to work without artwork are the following:

1) Provide us with a rough draft of what you would like, prepared in Word or Excel (do specify that the file is a rough draft if uploading during a checkout)
2) Print out a form of ours and mark the changes needed. Scan and email that file to artwork@smartresolution.com, along with an order number if applicable

We offer free graphic design as long as there are no more than 3 ink colors used. Full color orders do not include free graphic design.

Can I get a proof?

All orders of products with your own design come with 2 free PDF proofs as long as there are no more than 3 ink colors used. A charge of $20 per extra proof starting with the third proof will be applied after that.

Full color orders do not include free proofs.

What if I do not want to pay for an order before seeing a proof?

We can do that by entering the order as a "proof order". To do so:

You can ask not to have the credit card charged until a proof is approved, under "Additional Instructions" during the checkout
You can enter xxxx in the credit card fields of the checkout
When the order is received on our end, we will add a note to only charge the credit card once the proof is approved
We will tag the order as a "proof order" and enter the proof request for you
Once you approve the proof, we will send you a secure link to provide your payment details
