We have assembled many
ideas and sample layouts for you to choose from. You may pick from one
of ours or you may custom design your own. We will do out best to follow
any specific instructions you may request. |
| |
|
|
If you have not
provided us with any specific instructions you may choose from the
many standard layouts we have assembled. The type styles, point sizes
and basic layout will remain the same, unless otherwise specified.
Making a good rough layout is vital to the success of your custom
designed business card. It is a blueprint for us to follow. Provide
us with your rough sketch and the information you would like to include
and we will follow the most appropriate layout.

We are proud to say that BCE's professional staff of typesetters, graphic artists,
and proofreaders is the finest in the industry. We are excited to be a member of your
team, and our goal is to continue to serve you in the best way possible. To meet the
demands of your most discriminating clientele, we have given you the choice of using
your own superbly designed layouts, or of using one or our wide range of layout designs
& typestyles shown in our catalog. We will always try to determine what your requirements
are and to follow your specific instructions - we will not try to redesign your card. However,
in cases where we have not received specific instructions we will follow these guidelines:

If you provide us with a layout using a typestyle that we do not
offer in our catalog, unless otherwise instructed, we will match your
typestyle as closely as possible with one or ours. We will gladly accept
your fonts on disk or via E-mail under a few conditions:
|
| |
|
|
We only accept Macintosh Fonts.
|
|
|
|
You must send both the printer & screen font.
|
|
| |
|
Anytime you use a layout number from our catalog, we will use the
typestyles shown in that layout unless otherwise instructed. Anytime
you use a re-order number, we will always let the re-order number take
priority over the grid area unless otherwise instructed.
|
| |
|
Before submitting your order please check your color separations, placement,
artwork, typestyle specifications, grammar, spelling and numbers. Multiple
orders should be checked for consistency with each other. Please write clearly,
we cannot be responsible for misinterpretation of illegible copy. What you send
us is what we will send you -- we will follow your instructions.

"Proofread carefully to see if you any words out."
