Ad Bands® were created in 1986 as the “Original Printed Rubber Band” and the multiple functions are endless. They can be used as an easy way to promote your message by adding QR codes*, as hand-outs, wrist bands or on-pack/in-pack premiums. (Ad Bands® are also available in black light ink, offered in 6 colors, so your message will glow under a black light. Call for pricing.)

*A QR code (short for Quick Response) is a specific matrix barcode (or two-dimensional code), read-able by dedicated QR barcode readers and camera phones. QR Codes will only scan when the band is relaxed to its original size and proportion, and require a 3/4” width size band or greater.

FotoFlex™ is the world’s first stretchable wristband that uses four-color imprinting of digital graphics, allowing you to turn your rubber wristband into a mini-billboard for maximum promotional effect. Each wristband is made to order and guarantees durable crisp images that make for a highly visible product. The product is unique in that it cracks when stretched, but it does not flake and will return to near photo quality when relaxed.

These wristbands are custom printed to exact specifications including faces, event logos, sponsors’ logos, dates, special offers, etc. for a truly unique wristband that boosts your brand. They can also be printed with QR coding and other data options for enhanced interactivity with the wearer.

ns ACCEPTABLE ART FOR ALL PRODUCTS

EXCLUDING FOTOFLEX WRISTBANDS:The computer used in our Graphic Department is Macintosh. Macintosh programs used by the Print Department: • Adobe Photoshop CS5 • Adobe Illustrator CS5

Our first preference is an Illustrator EPS file with text converted to outlines. Otherwise, you may send a high resolution (300+ dpi) tiff file.

Artwork can be placed on our FTP site or sent on a disk, if files are larger than 5 MB. Word docu-ments, faxed artwork, publisher files or art pulled from a website cannot be accepted – a quality print begins with quality artwork.

Customer Logos:The manufacturer is not responsible for any reproduction of unauthorized, trademarked or copyrighted logos. Any damages incurred as a result of unauthorized use will be the responsibil-ity of the party supplying artwork.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONSRubber is a natural product. Therefore slight variations in color and texture are to be expected and are not considered to be a defect. Rub-ber tends to stretch to some degree during the printing and cutting process, therefore, not all imprints will be perfectly centered.

FOTOFLEX & RESISTOR STRIP ARTWORK: Digital Artwork

ART SPECIFICATIONS • Acceptable File Formats: EPS, PDF, JPG • All fonts used in design submitted must be converted to outlines/curves or rasterized. • Native and placed art files must be CMYK. • All images should be saved with resolution no less than 360 dpi. • All placed images need to be embedded in the native file and sent as additional files. • All placed images need to be 100% of imprint size. • All black text, line art and images must be set to 100% K to avoid CMYK trapping.

TEXT • Serif Text – 7 point or larger • SanSerif Text – 6 point or larger • If 5 pt. or smaller text is required, text should be created from a single process color: C,M,Y, or K

LINE WEIGHTSLine weight minimum: • 1 pt. positive line art • 2 pt. for reverse out

Unacceptable Art:Non-digital art that cannot be scanned be-cause of low resolution, such as business cards, photocopies, faxes, or printed materials. Low resolution digital images pulled off the internet or customer web site are also unacceptable.
