Here is some additional information to help you submit your files.
 
Free Evaluations
We are able to capture the tiny details in your original artwork so that your rubber stamps will produce fantastic images.  You may submit a sample for a confidential free image evaluation before you order your setups and stamps.  Simply e-mail Susan a high quality image/scan of your single design(s) or artwork collection layout.  Be sure to let her know the intended stamp image size(s) so she can confirm the resolution.  There is no extra charge to have your artwork resized.  
 
Providing free evaluations has been key to manufacturing excellent rubber art stamps for our customers.  It eliminates any surprises and gives you the confidence that your designs are ready to go into production.  The stamped images will amaze you at how accurately they reproduce your artwork.  It is difficult to tell the difference between the stamped image next to an inkjet print out of the original file.

Layout Instructions for Stamp Designs

Single stamp design setups do not require a 1/4” margin.  Be sure to let us know the intended stamp image size when submitting your single designs.
When laying out your artwork collection of images, there needs to be a 1/4” margin from all 4 sides.  We recommend 1/4" to 3/8” space between each design to allow for the deep etch shouldering making it easier to cut out each stamp design.  
Please note:  The 3/8” space between images is only required if we are cutting out your stamps with mounting cushion. You may use less space when you or your customers will be cutting them out.
