Color Guidelines

Choose one to four colors from our stock offering located on page two. If your desired color/colors are not a stock color, please include the PMS (Pantone Matching System) color values with your logo for accuracy purposes.Keep in mind, this leaves room for minor variances in color.

Special colors add an additional cost. Please allow a 10 business day lead time per order after proof has been approved
