INCLUDE in YOUR ELECTRONIC file

• Fonts and Photos: Be sure to attach all fonts and photos separately from your actual document file (do not embed photos). This way if
adjustments are necessary to the photos we can make them. Most

• Bindery: Please specify any finishing requests at the time of submissionCall or email with questions on preparation and to double check the acceptable file formats BEFORE you begin your design piece.

All marketing budgets are limited and these guidelines will ensure that you maintain successful marketing materials at a reasonable cost.
