Proof Sketch Order Form Details and Instructions

  1. Please mail original artwork for best quality. (Faxed copies cannot be used).
  2. If you have access to the Internet and possess a flatbed scanner, you may be able to e-mail your Proof Sketch requests (please refer to the “Instructions for E-mailing Art Requests” within the Logo Mats drop-box for more detailed information).
  3. Indicate the required mat type: ClassicCreations or SuperScrape.
  4. Submit two (2) copies of the artwork. The original should be clean and free of markings. The second copy should indicate how colors are to be used and include any information necessary to design the mat.
  5. Unless otherwise specified, designs will be centered and made as large as possible.
  6. Artwork will be revised where necessary to conform to the capabilities of the mat process. The most common design modification involves lettering. In order to assure that text is readable on the mat, letters must be a minimum of 4” tall and 3/8” in width. Letters that are ornate or contain intricate lines should be avoided.
  7. It is the responsibility of the orderer to obtain authorization to use copyrighted or trademarked designs. Any licensing fees are the responsibility of the orderer.
  8. No corner label (property markings) will be applied unless specifically requested. If a corner label is requested, it will be applied to the front corner of the mat. Unless otherwise noted, back labels and property markings will be automatically applied.

Artwork Requirements

Beach Peeps is committed to providing the most attractive customer logo mat possible. Essential to this goal is the quality of the artwork provided to us. The best artwork is a Black and White Ad Slick. The slick can be any size up to 8 ½” inch x 11 inch. Artwork may be submitted via mail, over-night courier (FedEx, DHL, etc.), or e-mail. Faxed copies distort artwork and therefore cannot be used.

We accept a large variety of electronic artwork in PC format. Acceptable file types include: CDR, CPT, TIF, EPS, BMP, PSD, PDF, AI, JPG, and GIF. Please include clear instructions on layout, color schemes and sizes. When scanning a photo or logo 600 dpi is the best resolution to use. All artwork should be emailed to: artwork AT beachpeeps DOT com. FTP options are available for large file sizes.

A list of different types of artwork follows. Each is classified as acceptable, unacceptable or marginal. If we are unable to use artwork, we will promptly advise the person initiating the request that we require additional materials. Please provide the best possible artwork on your initial request, as this will expedite the order process.
