Customizing Your Card

1. Which elements on the cards can I customize? You can customize anything on the inside of most cards and on the flap of the envelope including: verse, font, ink color, personalization of cards and envelope flap and envelope lining. Additionally, you may include your company logo and executive signatures and choose from a variety of printing methods, including flat, raised, letterpress and foil stamping. We also work with union printers and jobs printed by them can include the union logo or bug on the card and envelope.
2. How can I include my logo in the card? If you choose to include a logo, you have three options. You may upload your logo from the order form on this site. You may also attach it to an e-mail or send it to us on a CD. You may attach it to an e-mail (compressed with WinZip or Stuffit®) or send it to us on a CD. Tell us the PMS (Pantone Matching System) color numbers used in your logo. You have three file format options: TIFF, EPS or PDF (no JPG files, please). TIFF files should be black & white bitmapped artwork; EPS files can be either PMS color or black & white; PDF files should be high resolution (1270 dpi) black & white or color with fonts embedded. If you scan your logo, please size it larger than it will appear on your card, and set a minimum of 600 dpi. For best print quality, digital resolution must be a minimum of 300dpi – 600dpi is preferable. Important: low resolution web site logo files are not useable for print purposes and are not acceptable. When we receive your logo we will contact you to proceed with your order. Please call us if you need any help.
3. How can I add signatures to the card? We recommend that you sign your names in black ink on a smooth sheet of white paper with a medium point pen. Try for strong, large, clean lines. Mail us the original. Do not fax it.
4. Can I get a Union Logo or Union Bug added to my card? We work with several union printers who are authorized to insert the union logo inside the card and on the envelope flap. Please contact us for more information.

Samples & Proofs

1. Can I see a sample of a card? We would be happy to send you a sample of any card you like. Contact us with the card number and your contact information and we will send one out for your review.
2. How can I get a proof of my custom card before the order is placed? If you use the online card builder with our Business Holiday Cards to customize your card and envelope, you will have the opportunity to view and print a PDF of your work. This is your proof of the customization and we will go to press with this PDF. With all orders that we customize in-house, we will develop proofs and email or fax them to you. These proofs will show you exactly how your card and envelope personalization will look. We do not charge you for this service. Cards customized by our premium brand vendors may include a charge for proofs developed by them. Before we go to press, we require that you notify us via email or fax that the proofs meet your specifications.

Returns

1. What is your return policy in case I am not satisfied with my order? At Artline Greetings, we are committed to providing you with the finest shopping experience possible. We proofread all orders for spelling and grammar. However, we cannot always guarantee that we will catch customer errors, especially the spelling of proper names, company name, street names, cities or zip codes, so please review your wording carefully. We will provide you with a proof of your order (card and envelope), either the PDF you generated when customizing your card and envelope on line, or we will provide you with a proof of your order if we customize your card. Please review these thoroughly – we recommend having another person review them with you. We require your approval of the proofs before we will begin production. In the unfortunate instance that an error does occur, we will work with you to correct the mistake quickly and reprint your order (at the best price we can obtain). If an order contains errors or misprints caused by our staff or the publisher or our printers, we will happily reprint at no cost to you.
