Full Design Camera Ready:
Please have your finished artwork in Illustrator format and all text outlined. If you do not have illustrator we will convert your Photoshop files but you need to include all fonts and also make sure all your text is editable. Please show all your options on your artwork and state as FPO (for placement only). We will remove all FPO bar codes, mag stripes, data, etc.. prior to production. Any text or art that is getting extra options such as foil stamping, crystal raised ink, etc. has to be in vector format.
