In order to fulfill your order and produce the highest quality product for your company we need the following:

  Your logo in Adobe Illustrator EPS format. This logo must be a vector art image to allow for resizing. See image at right.

Our art department will use your logo for your ad space on all the maps, and for your imprint on your personal maps. The imprint area is the space between the map and calendar and this will be your strongest advertisement to your best customers.

   A photo of your building showing the front, including the roof line and one preferable side. We recommend that you take several photos of your building, zoom in so that the building height is filling 3/4 of your photo, then take several photos moving from edge to edge of building (left to right). We can stitch the photos together to create the whole building. ALSO include a photo of the main entrance doorway, by itself.

A few things to consider:

a) Cars - We can clean out a few cars here and there usually, but if the whole lower half of the building is obstructed by a full parking lot, then the pictures are best taken after/before hours.

b) Trees- Same as with cars. do your best to stay between the trees and the building, but if there is a large tree population that conceals the building, send us what you can and we can take a look, maybe we can work with it, or possibly we just need a picture of a certain portion of the building to correct the photo.

c) Shadows- This can be an issue with buildings that have lots of trees, especially if it's single story. Also applies to photos taken at dawn/dusk. Although those times are ideal to avoid the parking lot obstructions, they can be difficult to get a good photo. Our art dept advises taking the picture in the best sunlight available without the cars even if it is dawn/dusk, then retake again when the sun is hitting the building (afternoon). Through the combination of the two sets, all should be fine!

Image you send us...
usually 2-3 photos
Cleaned Up and Placed

   Imprint Information (Custom Foil) - usually the same company information as on the contract. Name, address, phone, fax, and web site. You may want multiple offices or a company slogan or tag line. There is plenty of room in this 12" X 3" section between the map and calendar (location noted on Map Info page).

We create the imprint based on the information you've given us. Then the file is made into a plate that will be used to stamp your imprint on the maps you ordered in a beautiful Silver Foil. The silver foil really makes your logo stand out to your customers. The best part? It's at their eye's level for an entire year!
