Q. How do I get my logo on a golf ball?
|
A. Simply provide us with your logo in one of the following four forms:
-
Computer generated artwork
- Your logo in the form of an Adobe Illustrator 5.0-10.0 EPS file, Corel
Draw, Freehand, High Resolution BMP, JPEG, or Kodak Photo CD. Macintosh PICT,
EPS, PCX, PhotoShop or TIFF may be acceptable. These can be sent to us on a
disk or via email at
artwork@nsprom.com.
-
Camera ready color separated
artwork - Your artwork with a high black and white contrast at 300% of
actual print size, has no grays, is crisp, sharp and needs no further
touchup, design, color separation or rearranging of the logo. We reduce your
artwork at no charge to maximize the imprint area.
-
Four color Process - The
only art acceptable for a Four Color Process Imprint without incurring
additional art charges above the standard $35.00 is a digital file. Art
received in any other format will incur a fee of $250.00 to create the
films. Film positives cannot be accepted.
-
Business stationery -
Your color logo from a business card, letterhead, brochure, etc. We will
match the colors of the stationery you provide. Additional charges may
apply.

Q. How do I send you my logo?
|
A. To print your order, simply provide us with your logo or artwork in any one
of the following four forms:
- Computer Generated Digital File:
Send us your digital vector artwork, either via
email, or
through our secure online upload feature which can be accepted from the
following programs:
- Preferred: Adobe Illustrator .eps (pc or mac) with type
converted to outlines.
- Corel Draw files with type converted to outlines.
- Freehand
- High Resolution Bitmap files: BMP, JPG, Macintosh PICT, EPS, PCX, Kodak
Photo CD, Photoshop or TIFF.

letterhead, business card, brochure, etc. Additional charges may apply.
Our graphic artists will resize your digital files and logos to fit in the
7/8" to 1" imprint area on the golf ball at no extra charge.
We will then provide you with a email proof in the form of an Adobe Acrobat
Reader .pdf file of your logo prior to printing for your review. |

|
Q. What size will my logo be imprinted on my golf balls?
|
|
A. Large detailed logos look best at 7/8" diameter. Rectangular logos will not
look as big as circular or square shaped logos. An imprint will appear larger if
it is stacked on more than one line. |
| |
|
Q. What are my options if I don’t have a logo, but I would like to have
straight-line copy (plain text) imprinted on a golf ball?
|
|
A. For straight-line copy, we can imprint up to 15 characters on four lines.
We can imprint in any font, and with any color you choose.
|
| |
|
Q. What is the Pantone Matching System (PMS) and why do I need to include this
information on my order?
|
|
A. The Pantone Matching System is a universal color recipe for each color
used in the imprinting industry to ensure the exact shade of each color. By
including the PMS color and number with your order, we can place the exact
colors you want on your golf ball. At Northstar Promotions we match any PMS
color requirement at no extra charge.

| |
|
Q. How can I see exactly how my logo will look before my order is printed?
