    Trapping

    Trapping is the process of overlapping adjacent colors to avoid multiple-color registration problems. Trapping, also called choke and spread, is necessary in screen printing. If you send your art in one of our accepted formats, we will create chokes and spreads (traps) for your artwork.

    Bleed and Margins

    An imprint is considered to bleed when the image runs to the edges of the product. Multi-color close registration imprints are not available on all products. Edge to edge imprints are available on limited products. We require an extra 0.1875" of your image in order to bleed on a vinyl product. We cannot bleed on poly products. Magnets: A 0.125" margin is required from the edge of the item on most products. Small magnetic signs require 0.1875" margins. Large magnetic signs require 0.25" margin. Bleeds require a .12" margin past the die cut edge of the product, when possible use .18".

    Art Appearance

    Factory is not responsible for detecting errors in customer supplied art/copy. Factory assumes no liability for how the art or imprint "appears" on a product unless sample proofs have been requested and approved. Note: Because of naturally occurring variations in the grain and color of bamboo, laser engraved decorations within a run will vary in appearance.

    Art Compliance

    Factory assumes no liability for trademark and copyright infringements on customer supplied artwork. Material submitted is assumed to be in compliance with all applicable laws. Distributor agrees to hold harmless and defend the factory against all costs and expenses as a result of any legal action including attorney fees.
