Printing

We at Pro-tect Plastic pride ourselves on our expertise in bringing multiple brands to life. Our partnership with some of the highest quality printers on the market allow us to provide these services to our customers at wholesale prices.

No matter if you are looking for a customized design or if you supply us with your own artwork, our in-house graphic designers will work with you to create the type of powerful visual message that get you noticed.

File Preparation

We prefer to receive a high resolution file in PDF format. PDF files are smaller in size and quick to upload to our servers. A minimum resolution of 200 dpi (CMYK color) at the full printed size is required. We recommend you supply us images in the highest resolution possible (300dpi and more) as this will provide the best quality result for your display.

TEXT

All text should be converted to outlines/path/curves in your design software, thus preventing your font being replaced with a similar one.

BLEED

Remember to include a sufficient image area on all edges where images or color bleed (print over the edge).

COLORS

If the supplied artwork is not CMYK colors we will try to match them as closely as possible. Please be aware that some colors (such as Pantone and Florescent) can not be exaclty reproduced by CMY colors.

Timelines & Proofs

Once your artwork has been received by our Graphics Department, we will start reviewing your graphic files to make sure that your artwork has met the criteria outlined in these specifications to produce the best possible quality for print. If any modifications or changes to the artwork need to be made, you will be notified with an opportunity to submit new artwork with the necessary changes. If new artwork is not submitted and you choose to have our Graphics Department make the modifications or changes, you will be billed at the rate of $100 per hour.

After our Graphics Department has reviewed your artwork, you will receive at least one proof via email. You will receive this proof within 24-48 hours of submitting artwork to us. You must respond to this email approving your artwork for print. The faster we get an approval, the faster we can begin the printing process.

Once you have approved the artwork, we will begin the printing process right away. Please note that these production lead times are from the date of approval, not from the date that the artwork was received. If you have purchased graphics that include a rush charge, then the amount of production days will be less. If yo need to rush an order that was not originally purchased with a rush fee, then please contact us immediately at 905-681-7671 for assistance.
